1992Yet in the case at bar although detail in the form of an identification of the defendant was admitted into evidence, we find it to be harmless error because S.J., Mrs. J. and Lamar identified Balle in court as the perpetrator of the offense with which he was charged. ( People v. Server (1986), 148 Ill.App.3d 888 , 102 Ill.Dec. 239 , 499 N.E.2d 1019 .) More important, Balle did not raise a misidentification defense.
