People v. Alvarado

PRESIDING JUSTICE GEIGER

delivered the opinion of the court:

These appeals have been consolidated for decision. According to its jurisdictional statement, the State appeals on the basis that the trial court’s orders dismissed the criminal charges against each defendant and quashed their arrests. See 145 Ill. 2d R. 604(a). After reviewing the record, we construe the court’s orders as dismissing the charges.
