People v. Jastrzemski

PRESIDING JUSTICE DiVITO

delivered the opinion of the court:

Following a bench trial, defendant Martin Jastrzemski was convicted of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 38, par. 24 — 1.1) and sentenced to 30 months’ probation. He now appeals, raising as issues (1) whether the gun found under the hood of his car was “on or about his person,” as required under the statute; and (2) whether his out-of-court statement that the car belonged to him was properly admitted at trial despite the State’s failure to disclose the statement during pretrial discovery. We affirm.
