People v. Hope
green
1 sentence1990As for the State’s suggestion that any error was harmless here, “[t]he extent to which such inflammatory [evidence and argument] affected the jury *** in its vote to impose the death penalty will never be known” (Hope I, 116 Ill. 2d at 278 ), and “[w]e cannot speculate as to the extent to which the jury was influenced by this incompetent evidence and inflammatory argument” (People v. Dukes (1957), 12 Ill. 2d 334, 340 ). | 1 | 1990–1990 |
The People v. Dukes
green
1 sentence1990As for the State’s suggestion that any error was harmless here, “[t]he extent to which such inflammatory [evidence and argument] affected the jury *** in its vote to impose the death penalty will never be known” (Hope I, 116 Ill. 2d at 278 ), and “[w]e cannot speculate as to the extent to which the jury was influenced by this incompetent evidence and inflammatory argument” (People v. Dukes (1957), 12 Ill. 2d 334, 340 ). | 1 | 1990–1990 |
People v. Simms
green
1 sentence1990On the contrary, here we have as powerfully emotion-laden a body of argument and testimony as supported the finding of reversible error in People v. Simms (1988), 121 Ill. 2d 259 — and in Simms the argument and testimony were heard by a sentencing judge alone rather than, as here, by a presumably more impressionable jury. | 1 | 1990–1990 |
People v. Smith
green
1 sentence1988App. 3d at 908 , 444 N.E.2d at 809 .) Finally, where overwhelming evidence of a defendant’s guilt exists, any possibility of prejudice to the defendant from improper comment on failure to call a witness may be nullified and a finding of reversible error precluded. | 1 | 1988–1988 |
People v. Olejniczak
green
1 sentence1984People v. Olejniczak (1979), 73 Ill. | 1 | 1984–1984 |
People v. Scott
neutral
1 sentence1984App. 3d 106, 112 , 415 N.E.2d 1082 .) In the present case, while we agree that the State’s comments were improper, we conclude that the overwhelming evidence of defendant’s guilt nullifies any possibility of prejudice to defendant and precludes a finding of reversible error. | 1 | 1984–1984 |
Gordon v. Checker Taxi Co.
green
1 sentence1977App. 313,322 , 79 N.E.2d 632, 636 .) Thus, Gordon is not clear precedent in the instant case because we cannot be sure how much the prejudicial effect of the jury instructions contributed to the finding of reversible error. | 1 | 1977–1977 |
