People v. Crenshaw

Defendant was convicted of criminal sexual assault of his daughter, age 15. Defendant overdosed himself on various medications before being interviewed by police, at which time he confessed. Court properly determined that police agents' description of Defendant's conduct in interview was more credible than Defendant, who claimed that side effects of medications left him so intoxicated that he lacked free will. Court properly admitted daughter's cell phone recording of assault, finding that recording was more audible than not. Sentence of eight years imprisonment was not excessive, given aggravating factors of Defendant's superior position of trust and long-lasting impact on victim. (TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
