People v. Mack

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Jury's guilty verdict is not so palpably contrary to the evidence or so unreasonable, improbable, or unsatisfactory to leave a reasonable doubt as to Defendant's guilty.  Even if defense counsel was ineffective by opening the door to an otherwise inadmissible prior consistent statement from the teenage victim, Defendant cannot show undue prejudice.  Victim's testimony, that Defendant touched her in a sexual manner, was clear and convincing, and victim promptly reported the incident.(CHAPMAN and CATES, concurring.)
