Appellate Court of Illinois February 11, 2002, 1-99-0419, 1-99-0955 cons. (People v. Crowe)

JUSTICE TULLY

delivered the opinion of the court:

Following a bench trial, defendant, John Crowe, was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to 50 years’ imprisonment. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred in granting the State’s motion to disqualify defense counsel, thereby depriving defendant of his sixth amendment right to counsel of choice.
