People v. Dupree

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first degree murder and attempted first degree murder. Defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel, as his trial counsel opened the door to otherwise inadmissible prior consistent statement from a witness, failed to make objection when State introduced statement repeatedly and argued it as substantive evidence, and failed to request that limiting instruction be given to jury. Prior consistent statement was highly prejudicial because it was directly related to Defendant's guilt. (NEVILLE, concurring; PUCINSKI, specially concurring.)
