Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Election Law
Defendant was convicted of three counts of perjury and one count of disregarding the Election Code, as to forged signatures on petitions to place candidate on ballot for township assessor. Evidence was sufficient to sustain convictions, as court made reasonable determinations as to credibility of witnesses and reasonably applied compelling circumstantial evidence that Defendant did not actually believe that his attestations on petitions were true. Witness testified as to Defendant's conflicting statements as to his viewing of signatures when she expressed her concern about notarizing petitions. (O'MALLEY and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
