Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Waiver
Defendant was convicted of two counts of obstructing a peace officer. The written jury waiver executed when Defendant was facing only domestic battery charges did not cover the later-added charges. Defendant's silence as his bench trial commenced cannot be construed as a waiver by acquiescence of his right to a jury trial on obstructions charges. (BOWMAN and BIRKETT, concurring.)
