People v. Nichols

Defendant was convicted two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault. Officers entered shed in backyard of home, without warrant and without permission of any occupant, found two coats. Defendant did not have standing to object to search, as he did not use shed regularly and did not reside in that home, and he did not have "possession" of shed when police searched it. State established that exigent circumstnaces justified warantless search. No due process violation in 32-year sentence, even given Defendant's young age, as assaults were successive and involved threat with weapon. (HUTCHINSON and ZENOFF, concurring.)
