Illinois Supreme Court November 21, 1988, 62795 (People v. Salazar)

JUSTICE CLARK,

dissenting:

While I agree that the evidence below adequately supported the jury’s verdict, I cannot agree with the majority’s affirmance of the defendant’s sentence and conviction. The trial of a close case, pivoting on the credibility of the accused, was marred by several serious evidentiary errors and an erroneous instruction to the jury.
