People v. Darren Denson

November 30, 2014, Case No. 2014-IL-116231

On appeal, the defendant argued that the trial court erred in (1) admitting the coconspirator statements that were the subject of the State’s motion in limine, and (2) allowing the State to elicit a prior consistent statement from one of its witnesses. With respect to defendant’s first argument, the appellate court held that defendant forfeited review of this issue both because he (1) failed to file a motion in limine of his own to exclude those statements; and (2) failed to raise a contemporaneous objection when the State introduced those statements at trial.

People v. Illinois Commerce Commission

November 20, 2014, Case No. 2014-IL-116642

At issue in this appeal is whether the appellate court erred when it dismissed the State’s petition for direct review of an order by the Illinois Commerce Commission on the grounds that the State’s notice of appeal was untimely and therefore insufficient to invoke the appellate court’s jurisdiction.
