Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of possession of methamphetamine precuror and manufacturing material. Under Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, Defendant committed two distinct acts of possession, as he possessed two separate items: precursor (pseudoephedrine) and manufacturing materials (lithium batteries, "Heet" isopropyl alcohol, and cold packs). Defendant's convictions and concurrent sentences were properly imposed. (STEWART and MOORE, concurring.)
