The PEOPLE of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Gerald WALKER, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Fourth Division.

September 25, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rita A. Fry, Cook County Public Defender (James N. Perlman, Asst. Public Defender, of counsel), Chicago, for Defendant-Appellant.

Richard A. Devine, State's Attorney, County of Cook (Renee Goldfarb, Veronica X. Calderon, Mary L. Boland, Asst. State's Attorneys, of counsel), for Plaintiff-Appellee.

While we strongly disapprove of what happened in that elevator, our examination of the record leads us to affirm the conviction in question.
