Illinois Supreme Court
People v. Aljohani
June 16, 2022463 Ill. Dec. 764
Summary
The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the defendant's murder conviction and sentence. It held that the warrantless entry into the apartment was justified under the emergency aid exception because the officers had reasonable grounds to believe an emergency existed and a reasonable basis to associate it with the apartment. The court also held that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, was sufficient for a rational fact finder to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
