Wagner v. City of Chicagogreen2 sentences2019By the majority’s own definitions, then, section 3-102 must be at least a hybrid immunity provision. ¶ 65 The only case cited by the majority for the view that section 3-102 does no more than codify the common-law duty and provides no immunity is Wagner v. City of Chicago, 166 Ill. 2d 144, 152 (1995), which stated the following: “[T]he purpose of section 3-102(a) is not to grant defenses and immunities. 2018By the majority's own definitions, then, section 3-102 must be at least a hybrid immunity provision. ¶ 65 The only case cited by the majority for the view that section 3-102 does no more than codify the common-law duty and provides no immunity is Wagner v.

People v. Petergreen2 sentences2018Under that scenario, a defendant would have to demonstrate not only that the evidence was closely balanced but also that the error was so substantial—as opposed to de minimis—that it may have affected the verdict. ¶ 65 After reminding us that “[a] defendant is not entitled to an error-free trial and few trials are free from error” (People v. Peter, 55 Ill. 2d 443, 447 (1973)), the State catalogs certain trivial errors that “could not possibly impact the outcome of the case,” including a typographical mistake in a jury instruction. 2017Under that scenario, a defendant would have to demonstrate not only that the evidence was closely balanced but also that the error was so substantial-as opposed to de minimis -that it may have affected the verdict. ¶ 65 After reminding us that "[a] defendant is not entitled to an error-free trial and few trials are free from error" ( People v.

People v. Palmergreen1 sentence2025“Counsel’s performance is measured by an objective standard of competence under prevailing professional norms.” Id. at 188 . “[E]ffective assistance of counsel refers to competent, not perfect, representation.” People v.

People v. Davisgreen1 sentence2015In reliance on that discussion in Strickland, the appellate court repeatedly has held that claims of ineffective assistance call for a hybrid standard of review: “Whether counsel provided ineffective assistance is a mixed question of fact and law. [Citation.] Therefore, we defer to the trial court’s findings of fact, but we make an independent judgment about the ultimate legal issue. [Citation.] We review de novo whether counsel’s omission supports an ineffective assistance claim. [Citation.]” People v. Davis, 353 Ill. | 1 | 1 |
