Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Jury Instructions
Defendant convicted of murder of his 11-month old daughter by beating. Autopsy photos, though graphic, were properly published and sent to jury room because they were relevant to location, character, and extent of injuries. Defendant's own testimony that he did not intend to kill victim not sufficient to warrant giving of involuntary manslaughter jury instruction, considering other factors, including Defendant's admission as to her violent beating of victim.
