People v. Adams

2 Citing cases

  1. People v. Carter

    344 Ill. App. 3d 663 (Ill. App. Ct. 2003)   Cited 12 times
    Noting “the absurd result” that would be reached if every round of ammunition gave rise to a separate offense

    The majority of them, like Deppert, involve the offense of unlawful use of a weapon which, again, is a different offense from the one at issue here. See, e.g., People v. Weir, 111 Ill. 2d 334 (1986); People v. Hurt, 175 Ill. App. 3d 970 (1988); People v. Cook, 129 Ill. App. 3d 531 (1984); People v. Stewart, 122 Ill. App. 3d 546 (1984); People v. Glass, 49 Ill. App. 3d 617 (1977); People v. Marbley, 34 Ill. App. 3d 434 (1975); People v. Adams, 30 Ill. App. 3d 396 (1975); People v. Rodgers, 2 Ill. App. 3d 507 (1971). Three of the cases relied upon by the dissent do not even involve a weapons offense.

  2. People v. Janis

    56 Ill. App. 3d 160 (Ill. App. Ct. 1977)   Cited 20 times
    Holding that the presence of other men in a car did not negate the defendant's constructive possession of a concealed weapon

    The State must often prove such knowledge by circumstantial evidence. People v. Adams (1st Dist. 1975), 30 Ill. App.3d 396, 332 N.E.2d 487 (abstract). • 5 Because this was a bench trial, it was for the trial court to decide whether the State established the guilt of the defendant.
