People v. Harris

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW). Evidence at trial did not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that gun was loaded and was immediately accessible, as officer testified that he initially found gun encased in closed center console of car. Anonymous eyewitness's hearsay statement to officer was not sufficient to corroborate Defendant's statement to prove corpus delicti; witness did not make allegations in front of Defendant. (CUNNINGHAM and CONNORS, concurring.)
