Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Speedy Trial
Court properly dismissed five of six counts of indictment. Cannabis charge and new gun-related offenses were required to be prosecuted in a single prosecution, as charges were based on same act of constructive possession of cannabis and handguns, which police recovered following Defendant's detention. Speedy trial provision barred State from prosecuting later-filed, gun-related charges once the 160-day period to file new and additional charges had elapsed. (McBRIDE and R. GORDON, concurring.)
