Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Evidence
Evidence of prior shooting incident was improperly admitted at murder trial under the other-crimes doctrine. The doctrine was inapplicable as Defendant neither committed nor participated in the prior incident. Evidence of prior incident was relevant to show defendant's motive for drive-by shooting that resulted in victim's death. (FREEMAN, THOMAS, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
