People v. Qurash

Defendant was charged with, and after bench trial found guilty of, possession of a controlled substance and possession of cannabis. Court properly denied Defendant's motion to suppress, and found , after listening to witnesses and deciding their credibility, that officer's statement of "come here" to Defendant was a request and not a seizure. Defendant's trial testimony, where he gave coherent and responsive answers to questions from his counsel and the State, supports conclusion there was no bond fide doubt of Defendant's fitness, and no error in absence of a fitness hearing. (McBRIDE, concurring; ELLIS, dissenting.)
