PEOPLE v. MASON

Gen. No. 51,236.

91 Ill. App.2d 118 (1968)

234 N.E.2d 351

People of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Joseph Mason (Impleaded), Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — First District, First Division.

January 15, 1968.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald W. Getty, Public Defender of Cook County, of Chicago (Frederick F. Cohn and James J. Doherty, Assistant Public Defenders, of counsel), for appellant.

John J. Stamos, State's Attorney of Cook County (Elmer C. Kissane and Richard A. Rinella, Assistant State's Attorneys, of counsel), for appellee.

MR. JUSTICE MURPHY delivered the opinion of the court.

In a bench trial, Joseph Mason, Huery Davis and David Parker were found guilty of the theft of an automobile. Mason was sentenced to one to three years in the penitentiary. In a separate appeal, defendant Mason contends that he was denied effective assistance of counsel because the same Assistant Public Defender represented the three defendants when they had antagonistic theories of defense.
