Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Murder
(Modified upon denial of rehearing 5/6/15.) Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first-degree murder of three members of his wife's family, and related charges. State offered substantial evidence of Defendant's role in murders, and of his many prior threats. Absence of forensic evidence unequivocally tying Defendant to murders does not necessarily equate to reasonable doubt. (PUCINSKI and HYMAN, concurring.)
