People v. Brooks

This appeal is from the judgment of the circuit court of Rock Island County after trial by jury finding defendant, Harold Leroy Brooks, guilty of armed robbery and sentencing him to not less than 6 years nor more than 20 years in the Department of Corrections. The only issue on this appeal is whether the State’s failure to produce a police report concerning the photographic identification of co-defendant, Willie Studevent, by two witnesses constituted prejudicial error. In light of the circumstances in this case we hold error was committed but such error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
