Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Jury Deliberations
Defendant was convicted of aggravated battery of a peace officer and resisting a peace officer resulting in injury. Court properly allowed video of incident to be played in the courtroom during deliberations, as video equipment was not available in jury room; video had viewed video twice during trial, and no presumption that third viewing was prejudicial. Evidence was sufficient to support convictions. Defendant was not denied effective assistance of counsel; decision to not have Defendant testify was matter of trial strategy. (WRIGHT, concurring; McDADE, disenting.)
