Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Domestic Battery
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated battery and 2 counts of aggravated domestic battery. Section 112A-3(3) of Domestic Violence Act is unconstitutional as applied to Defendant. Even though his romantic relationship with Petitioner had ended 15 years prior to incident, that Section treats Petitioner as his family or household member, which is not reasonably related to a public interest. (MASON and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
