People v. Veile

Defendant was found guilty by a jury in the circuit court of Adams County of the offense of aggravated battery in violation of section 12 — 4(b)(6) of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 12 — 4(b)(6)). She was sentenced to one year’s probation and the payment of a fine of $250. On appeal her chief contention is that the State failed to prove bodily harm in the simple battery which was the predicate for aggravated battery. We agree and reverse. For this reason we need not discuss contentions concerning the fine which are also issues on appeal.
