325 Ill. App.3d 411

259 Ill.Dec. 285

The PEOPLE of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Carlos BOWMAN, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Third Division.

September 28, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael J. Pelletier, Deputy Defender, and Bonnie Kim, Assistant Appellate Defender, Office of the State Appellate Defender, Chicago, for Appellant.

Richard A. Devine, State's Attorney of Cook County, Chicago (Renee Goldfarb, Mary L. Boland, Catherine M. Malloy, of counsel), for Appellee.


Justice WOLFSON delivered the opinion of the court:

This was an aggravated criminal sexual assault trial. Three of the prospective jurors said that sexual assaults has touched their lives, either as victims or as having relatives or close friends who were victims. One of the prospective jurors sat on the case. Whether these jurors should have been excused for cause is a central issue in this appeal. We conclude there was no reversible error.
