2023People v. Young, 341 Ill.

1991(People v. Franklin (1990), 135 Ill. 2d 78, 117-19 .) Similarly, defense counsel in the instant case chose to abandon the defendant’s claim of innocence and instead determined to focus on the evidence in mitigation presented on the defendant’s behalf.

1990Daley v. Strayhorn (1988), 119 Ill. 2d 331, 336 , 518 N.E.2d 1047, 1050 .) Also, this court has rejected that claim.

1990Daley v. Strayhorn (1988), 119 Ill. 2d 331, 336 , 518 N.E.2d 1047, 1050 .) Also, this court has rejected that claim.

1989This court has also held that it is constitutional for the trial judge to instruct the jury that “neither sympathy nor prejudice should influence you.” (People v. Spreitzer (1988), 123 Ill. 2d 1, 41-43 .) Finally, this court has rejected the claim that the statute is unconstitutional because it is being imposed in an arbitrary, capricious and racially discriminatory manner.

1984Our supreme court interprets "will or may be bound" to require an interest greater than that of the general public, such that a party will stand to benefit or suffer by the legal operation of a judgment, but the court has rejected the requirement of a direct interest in the suit.
