Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Battery
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated battery to a person in the county jail, a public property. County jail was property owned by the government and was thus public property, and as battery took place within the jail in a jail pod, offense falls within aggravated-battery statute. Court properly took judicial notice that the jail is public property. (POPE and McCULLOUGH, concurring.)
