People v. Klein 

(Modified upon denial of rehearing 9/28/15.) Defendant, an in-home day care provider, was convicted, after bench trial, of aggravated battery of a child, as 7-month-old infant in her care suffered brain injury. Treating physicians concluded that infant's injuries were non-accidental and resulted from significant amount of force. There were several injuries to multiple planes of infant's body that could not have been caused by infant himself. Evidence was sufficient to prove Defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Trial judge's finding of guilty, standing alone, does not support view that he bore any animosity, hostility, or distrust toward Defendant. Thus, court properly denied 2 motions for substitution for cause. (CARTER and LYTTON, concurring.)
