Citation
Case Number: 
2012 IL App (2d) 110640
Decision Date: 
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
District: 
2d Dist.
Division/County: 
Lake Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed as modified and vacated in part; remanded.
Justice: 
HUDSON
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of unlawful possession of cocaine. Evidence was sufficient to support conviction; rational jury could reject Defendant's testimony that he was wearing his brother's pants, as brother's wallet was in pants pocket, and that he did not know cocaine was in pants pockets. Court erred in not holding hearing prior to imposing $750 PD reimbursement fee. (JORGENSEN and BIRKETT, concurring.)
