No. 123092
District: 
4th Dist.

This case presents question as to whether govt. proved defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt on home invasion charge, where defendant, who was subject to court order prohibiting him from going to or entering particular residence, nevertheless went to said residence and was allowed to enter said residence by resident. Appellate Court, in reversing defendant’s conviction, found that defendant was not guilty of home invasion, where, with resident’s consent, he entered resident’s dwelling, even though doing so was in violation of court order.
