1st Dist.

Cook Co., 1st Div,
Holding: 
Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Justice: 
MIKVA

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of 1 count of delivery of a substance containing heroin and 1 count of delivery of a substance containing cocaine. State adequately showed a chain of custody for the narcotics. Because the cocaine and heroin were blended into a single substance and State presented no evidence that Defendant had any idea that the substance contained both illegal drugs, convictions violate the one-act, one-crime rule.(GRIFFIN and WALKER, concurring.)
