People v. Jackson

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the denial of leave to file a successive postconviction petition. It held that the evidence offered to support the due-process claim did not establish prejudice because it did not demonstrate a relevant pattern and practice of witness intimidation, and that the affidavits supporting actual innocence were not newly discovered. The court also held that the petition could not present a colorable actual-innocence claim as a matter of law.
