People v. Campbell

Defendant was convicted of first degree murder after jury trial and sentenced to natural life in prison. Admission of witness' entire grand jury testimony did not violate right to confrontation, or requirement of Section 115-10.1 of Code of Criminal Procedure that witness be subject to cross-examination as to her statement. Counsel for both parties had opportunity to question witness at trial about her prior inconsistent testimony, and witness willingly responded to questions at trial. Although defense counsel did not formally present alibi defense, he was allowed to present witnesses who testified that Defendant was at home when shooting occurred. Thus, no prejudice from defense counsel's failure to formally present alibi defense. (DELORT and CONNORS, concurring.)
