People v. Moore

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated battery.Evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find that State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that victim suffered great bodily harm as a result of the battery. The item that struck victim's head weighed 5-10 pounds, he incurred a 3 1/2" gash on side of his head, and a swollen eye, and per witness accounts he was bleeding significantly from injury; and evidence was sufficient to support inference that victim suffered memory loss as a result of injury. Remanded for court to apply a presentence incarceration credit against applicable fines. (LYTTON and McDADE, concurring.)
