People v. Brown

This case presents question as to whether record contained sufficient evidence to establish forgery conviction under 720 ILCS 5/17-3(a)(1) where defendant merely endorsed her own name on reverse of fraudulent check upon which she was named payee, and where State failed to present evidence that defendant had created said check. Appellate Court, in affirming defendant's conviction, found that defendant's endorsement alone satisfied making or altering element of forgery statute since act of endorsement made check capable of defrauding third-party.
