Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Murder
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and aggravated battery with a firearm for shooting that killed one person and injured another. Autopsy report was properly admitted, and a medical examiner who did not perform the autopsy was properly allowed to testify as to report, without violation of confrontation clause. Report was prepared in the normal course of business pursuant to medical examiner's office's duties. Doctrine of transferred intent is applicable to attempted murder cases where an unintended victim is injured. (DELORT and CONNORS, concurring.)
