2018I would therefore uphold the trial court's judgment denying Phillips's motion to suppress. 1 See, e.g. , People v. Hartgraves , 31 Ill. 2d 375 , 381, 202 N.E.2d 33 (1964) (telling defendant " '[i]t would go easier for him in court if he made a statement' " was a "mere suggestion of the advisability of making a statement" and did not render defendant's confession involuntary); People v.

2014Id. at 21 . -5- Constitution, as do procedural barriers to having a claim of innocence adjudicated on the merits.

2014Defendant appealed, arguing that (1) the State failed to prove him guilty of the offenses beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) the trial court abused its 2014 IL App (2d) 121219 discretion by allowing Phillips to invoke his privilege against self-incrimination or, alternatively, defendant was denied due process of law when the prosecutor refused to grant Phillips immunity; (3) the trial court abused its discretion by admitting statements, pursuant to the co-conspirator exception to hearsay, made by codefendant Tuan Fields; and (4) posttrial counsel provided ineffective assistance.

2014Id. at 21. -6- 2014 IL App (2d) 121219 reconsider, defendant pointed out that he had raised a freestanding claim of actual innocence supported by affidavits and other evidence.

2013A decedent’s personal representative is the only party that may bring a wrongful death action. 1 Because the Wunsch defendants and Phillips defendants raise similar arguments in their briefs on appeal, their arguments will be addressed in a collective manner in this opinion, unless otherwise stated. -6- Id. at 361 .
