People v. Shelly

Defendant was convicted of aggravated discharge of a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm, and unlawful possession of a firearm without a FOID card. On appeal, defendant argued that the State was required to show that he was aware that his FOID card was revoked and that the evidence was not sufficient to prove him guilty of aggravated discharge of a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. The appellate court reversed in part and affirmed in part, reversing the conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm without a FOID card because the State was required to prove that defendant knew his FOID card was not valid and affirmed the remaining convictions. (McDADE and DAVENPORT, concurring)
