People v. Reed

2 sentences2017Given that it is the State that bears the burden of proof at the in camera hearing, we cannot reconcile requiring defendant—the opposing party—with the burden of ensuring a transcript of that proceeding be made and sealed. ¶ 45 We are mindful that this court came to a contrary conclusion regarding the burden of transcription in Reed, 2013 IL App (1st) 113465, ¶ 21 , a case involving the surveillance location privilege where the record did not include a transcript of the in camera hearing. 2017Id. ¶ 46 To the extent that Reed held that it is always the appellant’s burden to ensure that a transcript of the in camera hearing is created, we disagree. | 2 | 2016–2017 |
