People v. Smith

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of residential burglary. Because destruction of original surveillance video was not by State's purposeful design, court did not err in admitting 2 nonconsecutive iPhone clips of the surveillance footage where a witness testified to their accuracy compared to original surveillance footage. State presented sufficient circumstantial evidence to prove that Defendant committed residential burglary beyond a reasonable doubt. Court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Defendant to 6 1/2 years. (WHARTON, specially concurring; CATES, dissenting.)
