Illinois Supreme Court

Sexually Violent Persons
Respondent was adjudicated a sexually violent person in 2004 and was placed in custody of IDHS. Court revoked his conditional release on basis that Respondent had violated terms of conditional release plan, and he was returned to custody. Appeal is moot as State had received the relief it sought in its appeal, which was the return of Respondent to IDHS custoday. State failed to establish factors for the public interest exception to the mootness doctrine. (KILBRIDE, FREEMAN, GARMAN, KARMEIER, and THEIS, concurring.)
