People v. Ramirez

1 Citing case

  1. People v. De Angelo

    50 Ill. App. 3d 848 (Ill. App. Ct. 1977)   Cited 3 times

    Under such circumstances we do not think the trial judge was required to accept either of defendant's statements as being true, and in light of the other overwhelming evidence of guilt, correctly convicted him of leaving the scene of an accident. Defendant's reliance on People v. Taliaferro (4th Dist. 1974), 24 Ill. App.3d 825, 321 N.E.2d 703, and People v. Ramirez (1st Dist. 1973), 18 Ill. App.3d 404, 304 N.E.2d 699, is misplaced. Both of those cases were factually different than the instant case and presented a reasonable alternative explanation of the evidence.
