Recent Illinois Post Conviction Relief Motions and Opinions

The People v. State of Illinois v. Richard Felton (2018)

Case No. 150595, Third District Court of Appeals in Illinois

Defendant first contends that an excessive amount of other-crimes evidence was introduced at his attempted first-degree murder bench trial. Specifically, he maintains that the evidence regarding the home invasion created a home invasion trial within the attempted murder trial. While defendant concedes that evidence of the home invasion was generally admissible to prove his motive for shooting Wade, he argues the amount and detail of that evidence rendered his trial unfair.  All relevant evidence is admissible unless its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice. Ill. Rs. Evid. 402, 403 (eff. Jan. 1, 2011). The probative value of a piece of evidence refers to its tendency to prove or disprove that a defendant committed the charged offense. See People v. Maya, 2017 IL App (3d) 150079, ¶ 68. Unfair or undue prejudice “speaks to the capacity of some concededly relevant evidence to lure the factfinder into declaring guilt on a ground different from proof specific to the offense charged.” Old Chief v. United States, 519 U.S. 172, 180 (1997).  Read more about this post-conviction motion in Illinois: Illinois Post Conviction Motions
