Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Delivery of a Controlled Substance
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and sentenced to two concurrent 13-year terms in DOC. State presented extensive evidence against Defendant; multiple officers identified Defendant as the person they were surveilling during two drug buys, and one officer testified that he searched confidential informant buyer and found money and contraband before and after each buy, and serial numbers matched. Video of Defendant's interview with police depicts Defendant confessing multiple times. Trial judge, in commenting on effect of Defendant's criminal history, was not thereby exercising unyielding personal policy or vendetta against Defendants with prior criminal histories. (POPE and APPLETON, concurring.)
