2 sentences

2013Thus, in this context, “[p]lain error arises in two circumstances: (1) when the flawed instruction was provided in a case where the evidence was closely balanced or (2) when the flaw in the instruction is ‘grave’ or so serious that it denied the defendant a substantial right and undermined the integrity of the judicial process.” Id. (citing Herron, 215 Ill. 2d at 178-79 ). ¶ 21 The defendant has the burden of persuasion under both prongs of the plain-error analysis.

People v. Emerson green
ill · 1983
1 sentence

1988The general rule is that proof of a prior consistent statement by a witness is admissible to rebut a charge or inference of recent fabrication or motive to testify falsely, provided the statement is made before the alleged motive to fabricate existed. ( People v. Emerson (1983), 97 Ill.2d 487, 500-01 ; People v. Clark (1972), 52 Ill.2d 374, 389 .) The defendant concedes that the State used Phillips' June 21 statement to rebut a charge of motive to testify falsely, but argues that the statement was made after the alleged motive had come into existence.
