second element exception in Illinois

2014Because all well-pleaded facts not positively rebutted by the record are taken as true (Pendleton, 223 Ill. 2d at 473 ), we determine that the information contained in Lee’s affidavit was newly discovered evidence because it could not have been discovered prior to trial through the exercise of due diligence. ¶ 28 The second element of a claim of actual innocence that defendant must establish is that the new evidence is material and not cumulative.

2024The second element of the exception has also been met because respondent’s medical history and the actions and representations of Dr. Stokes, the State, and the circuit court establish a reasonable expectation respondent will be subject to the same actions again. ¶ 30 As to the second element, we recognize challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence will ordinarily “not suffice because any subsequent case involving the respondent will involve different evidence and will require an independent determination of the sufficiency of that evidence.” In re Marcus S., 2022 IL App (3d) 170014, ¶ 45 ,
