Appellate Court of Illinois September 24, 1999, 4-98-0612 (People v. Lind)

JUSTICE STEIGMANN

delivered the opinion of the court:

In May 1998, a jury convicted defendant, Michael E. Lind, of aggravated battery of a child (720 ILCS 5/12 — 4.3(a) (West 1996)), and the trial court later sentenced him to 18 years in prison. Defendant appeals, arguing that (1) the State failed to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; and (2) the court made certain evidentiary errors.
