333 N.E.2d 258

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. SYLVESTER JOHNSON, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fifth District.

August 6, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul Bradley and Laurence A. Benner, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Chicago, for appellant.

Byron L. Connell, State's Attorney, of Mound City (Bruce D. Irish and Rolf F. Ehrmann, both of Illinois State's Attorneys Association, of counsel), for the People.


Judgment reversed.

Mr. JUSTICE KARNS delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant-appellant, Sylvester Johnson, was convicted of reckless driving after a jury trial in Pulaski County. A fine and costs were imposed. On appeal, defendant raises two issues regarding the sufficiency of the complaint and contends that the evidence was not sufficient to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We find it necessary to discuss only the last contention.
