Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Weapons
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of armed habitual criminal (AHC) and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon (UUWF). Defendant's felony conviction for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW) was alleged as an element of the AHC offense, and may serve as a predicate felony, which State used to prove Defendant's status as a felon for UUWF, because there is no evidence presented that this conviction for AUUW was vacated. (SIMON, concurring; HYMAN, specially concurring.)
