People v. Perez

(Court opinion corrected 4/27/18.) Defendant, age 17 at time of offense, was convicted, after jury trial, of intentional 1st degree murder and personally discharging a firearm during commission of offense. It was not unreasonable for jury to rely on testimony of State's witness, or to accept that witness' version of events over defense witness' version of events, as key part of defense witness' testimony was contracted by photos entered into evidence. State properly impeached defense witness with his prior inconsistent statement. Sentence of 53 years was not excessive. (PIERCE and MIKVA, concurring.)
