People v. Dunnegan

Defendant, Donald Dunnegan, was charged with reckless homicide (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 9 — 3(a)) and concealment of a homicidal death (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 9 — 3.1(a)). At a pretrial hearing on defendant’s motion to suppress his statement the motion was denied, and the case proceeded to trial. Following a bench trial, defendant was found guilty on both charges and was sentenced to one year in the Department of Corrections for the offense of reckless homicide and two years’ probation for the offense of concealment of a homicidal death. This appeal ensued.
