Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Juvenile Law
Respondent minor was adjudicated delinquent on finding of guilty of aggravated battery involving great bodily harm, arising from altercation with another minor. State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Respondent knowingly caused great bodily harm, as trial judge stated that he did not believe any of the witnesses. State failed to disprove, beyond a reasonable doubt, Respondent's affirmative defense of self-defense upon victim threatening him. (NEVILLE and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
