People v. Clifford

Defendant James Clifford was charged with burglary. Prior to trial, he made a motion to quash the arrest and to suppress the evidence taken from him at the time of his arrest. The motion was denied. His trial by jury resulted in a conviction and a sentence of 2 to 6 years. Thereafter, defendant brought this appeal and presents three issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in denying his motion to quash and suppress, (2) whether he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and (3) whether the instruction defining accountability should have been given in this case.
