Harassment
Defendant was charged with 2 counts of harassment through electronic communication. Court found that there was a bona fide doubt as to Defendant's fitness to stand trial. Court properly granted defense counsel's motion for directed verdict of unfitness at close of State's case-in-chief at fitness hearing.Defense counsel's duty to a defendant does not necessarily obligate him or her to adopt the defendant's position as to his or her fitness, including where the defendant might be fit. Defendant was not deprived of right to effective assistance of counsel. (ZENOFF and SPENCE, concurring.)
