Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Fitness
Defendant was, upon defense counsel's motion for directed verdict in fitness hearing before jury, found unfit to stand trial on charges of resisting a peace officer and criminal trespass to a peace officer. No ineffective assistance of counsel by defense counsel failing to advocate that she was fit. Counsel must exercise professional judgment to ensure that the defendant, if unfit, is not tried in violation of due process, and no rigid rule requires counsel to call defendant to testify. (HUTCHINSON and SPENCE, concurring.)
