People v. Bustos

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of multiple counts of aggravated domestic battery and domestic battery of his girlfriend. Jury was properly instructed pursuant to IPI Criminal Nos. 1.01, 3.13, and 3.14, including limiting instruction. Propensity instruction properly referred to "offenses", as more than one "offense" was committed.  No ineffective assistance of counsel in not offering tailored jury instructions, or in not objecting to officer's testimony that Defendant wanted a lawyer, as that was a matter of trial strategy; and evidence of guilt was overwhelming. (ZENOFF, concurring; HUDSON, specially concurring.)
