People v. Aguirre

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided March 19, 1993No. 3-92-0040Published

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Slater

Following a jury trial, defendant Martin Aguirre was convicted of two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance (111. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 56x/2, par. 1401) and sentenced to two concurrent terms of 10 and 8 years in prison. On appeal defendant argues that: (1) he was denied a fair trial due to the State’s improper use of peremptory challenges during jury selection; (2) the trial court erred in instructing the jury on the theory of accountability; (3) he was entrapped into committing the charged offenses; and (4) he was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We affirm.
