PEOPLE v. THOMPSON

Gen. No. 52,048.

121 Ill. App.2d 163 (1970)

257 N.E.2d 197

People of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Nevin William Thompson, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — First District, Fourth Division.

February 25, 1970.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald W. Getty, Public Defender of Cook County, of Chicago (James J. Doherty, Fred Shandling and Theodore A. Gottfried, Assistant Public Defenders, of counsel), for appellant.

Edward V. Hanrahan, State's Attorney of Cook County, of Chicago (Elmer C. Kissane, Assistant State's Attorney, and Kenneth Gillis, Special Assistant State's Attorney, of counsel), for appellee.

MR. JUSTICE DRUCKER delivered the opinion of the court.

Defendant was convicted after a bench trial of the offense of rape. Judgment was entered and he was sentenced to a term of three to five years. Defendant raises two points on appeal: (1) he was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and (2) his pretrial confrontation was so unnecessarily suggestive and conducive to irreparable mistaken identification that he was denied due process of law.
