Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Reveles-Cordova

November 19, 20202020 IL 124797

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court reversed the appellate and circuit courts, holding that criminal sexual assault is a lesser‑included offense of home invasion predicated on criminal sexual assault and vacating the sexual‑assault conviction. The Court adopted the abstract‑elements approach, treating each statutory predicate as a separate proscribed offense, and overruled the decisions in Fuller and Bouchee.
