Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Evidence
Autopsy reports prepared by a medical examiner's office in the normal course of its duties are nontestimonial. Autopsy report prepared in the normal course of business of a medical examiner's office is not rendered testimonial merely because the assistant medical examiner performing the autopsy is aware that police suspect homicide and that a specific individual might be responsible. (FREEMAN, THOMAS, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring; KILBRIDE, dissenting.)
