  1. People v. Velasquez

    2014 Ill. App. 123366 (Ill. App. Ct. 2014)   Cited 1 times

    " At the conclusion of the argument, the prosecutor told the jurors they should find Velasquez guilty because "the facts support it, the law requires it, and justice demands it." We find the remarks similar to the remarks the appellate court found unobjectionable in People v. Harris, 111 Ill. App. 3d 956, 958 (1982). Velasquez relies on People v. Martinez, 76 Ill. App. 3d 280, 285 (1979), but the Martinez court did not find the use of the more strident remarks in that case reversible.
