Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Hutt

May 18, 2023468 Ill. Dec. 309

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that Oliver J. Hutt knowingly and understandingly waived his right to a jury trial in the DUI charge, so the conviction stands, and that his refusal to submit to blood and urine testing does not satisfy the statutory definition of "conceal" for obstructing justice, thus reversing that conviction. The court affirmed the appellate court’s judgment on the DUI and reversed it on the obstructing justice charge.
