Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Evidence
Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder. State's comments about witness being an "uncorroborated witness" did not shift burden of proof to Defendant; it was an isolated statement. Remarks either were proper response to closing argument or were not reversible error, as they were not so inflammatory or so flagrant that they denied the Defendant a fair trial. Conflicts in evidence as to specific circumstances of case are for jury to resolve. (McLAREN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
