Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Epstein

November 28, 2022465 Ill. Dec. 588

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court’s judgment, holding that the trial court erred in excluding the defendant’s blood‑alcohol test result under Rule 403 and that admitting the result does not violate the defendant’s due‑process rights. The court emphasized that delay affects the weight, not the admissibility, of BAC evidence and that no mandatory presumption is created.
