THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Defendant in Error, v. BOB CLAUDE WILLIAMS, Plaintiff in Error.

Supreme Court of Illinois.

Opinion filed November 19, 1965.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

GARY L. ECKLUND, of Rockford, appointed by the court, for plaintiff in error.

WILLIAM G. CLARK, Attorney General, of Springfield, and WILLIAM R. NASH, State's Attorney, of Rockford, (FRED G. LEACH and WILLIAM A. BOMP, Assistant Attorneys General, and WILLIAM H. SNIVELY, Assistant State's Attorney, of counsel,) for the People.

Judgment reversed.

Mr. JUSTICE HOUSE delivered the opinion of the court:

A jury in the circuit court of Winnebago County found defendant, Bob Claude Williams, guilty of burglary and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of three to ten years. The only evidence connecting defendant with the crime is his signed confession, and the sole issue presented on this direct review of the case is whether the confession was made voluntarily.
