PEOPLE v. WASHINGTON

No. 1-92-0630.

610 N.E.2d 88 (1992)

238 Ill. App.3d 371

182 Ill.Dec. 664

The PEOPLE of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Todd WASHINGTON, Defendant-Appellee.

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Fourth Division.

November 12, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jack O'Malley, State's Atty., Chicago (Renee Goldfarb, Eileen O'Neill and Laura Bertucci, Asst. State's Atty., of counsel), for plaintiff-appellant.

Rita A. Fry, Public Defender, Chicago (Pamela Pfrang, Asst. Public Defender, of counsel), for defendant-appellee.


Justice LINN delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant Todd Washington was charged by information with possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine with the intent to deliver. A hearing on defendant's motion to suppress was conducted on January 21, 1992, and the trial court sustained the motion. On appeal, the State contends that the order suppressing the evidence was manifestly erroneous because the evidence was in plain view when seized.
