Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Aggravated Domestic Battery
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of 2 counts of aggravated domestic battery and 2 counts of violation of order of protection. Court did not err in admitting 2 disks containing hundreds of jail calls, 6 of which State published at trial. Defendant was present when State published the 6 jail calls during trial, and thus does not implicate his right to present a defense, right to counsel, or right to testify. Nothing in record shows that trial court considered the unpublished calls. (PIERCE and COGHLAN, concurring.)
