People v. Sanchez

1 Citing case

  1. People v. Ortega

    2021 Ill. App. 2d 190699 (Ill. App. Ct. 2021)

    Although not cited for persuasive or precedential purposes, we note that, in People v. Sanchez, 2020 IL App (2d) 181046-U, ΒΆ 16, another panel of this court held that the trial court had properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment that was fatally defective for alleging conduct within a date range in which the conduct was not yet prohibited by statute. Noting the requirements of section 111-3(a) of the Code, including that the charging instrument state an offense, the court explained, "The degree to which a court should tolerate deviance from those requirements depends on the stage of proceedings in which the defendant first challenges the charge."
