J. Holdridge finds that the lower court properly denied defendant's request for pretrial release on attempted murder and battery charges. Defendant attacked his victim with a knife and stabbed him multiple times.

Affirmed.
Court: Illinois Appellate Court, Judge: Holdridge, Filed On: April 11, 2024, Case #: 230791, Categories: Murder, Bail
J. Holdridge finds that the lower court convicted defendant of aggravated discharge of a firearm, but improperly convicted him of unlawful possession of a firearm without a FOID card. Defendant admitted to shooting at his victims, which is sufficient to show he knowingly discharged a firearm in the direction of another person. However, defendant was previously issued a FOID card, meaning his possession of the firearm was legal even if that FOID card was revoked at the time of the offense. Reversed in part.

J. Holdridge finds that the trial court properly dismissed the individual's claims against the attorney relating to allegations her confidential information was accessed by the law firm's employee to benefit the individual's ex-husband in their divorce.

[Consolidated.] J. Holdridge finds that the trial court erred in declaring the decedent's wife to be the sole beneficiary of the profit sharing plan and the owner of the plan proceeds. The wife shot and killed the decedent allegedly in self-defense, and she was not charged for the killing. The decedent's son was not a party in the actions brought by the other adult children alleging the wife was an unworthy successor, so res judicata does not bar his claim since there is a question as to whether his "interests were adequately represented." Reversed in part.

The amount of such services is determined to be up to eight hours per day, five days per week if rendered by a family member, and up to ten hours per day, five days per week if rendered by a non-family member. Reversed in part.
