People v. Rogers 

Defendant was convicted of criminal sexual assault of his minor stepdaughter. Court erred in not asking each potential juror whether he or she understood each of the four Zehr principles; however, potential jurors indicated that they could follow admonitions and strictures that the judge related to them, so that it was reasonable to conclude that they had sufficient understanding to comply with them. Atmosphere of the voir dire was conducive to any potential jurors asking questions if they did not understand any of the principles; thus, Defendant was not denied right to fair and impartial jury. Defendant was not denied a fair trial by court's failure to question all of the jurors about the principle that Defendant was not required to present any evidence, as Defendant did present evidence through trial testimony of himself and his wife. (McLAREN and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
