Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Motions in Limine
Intervenors appeal circuit court's order denying their request to open for public inspection 2 motions in limine filed under seal by Defendant who was charged with 1st degree murder of his former spouse. Once circuit court granted Defendant leave to file those 2 legal documents, they became court records. Presumption of access attaches to motions in limine filed with court in criminal proceedings Remanded for proceedings to determine whether presumption has been rebutted. (HOLDER WHITE and POPE, concurring.)
