People v. Tostado
Appellate Court of Illinois
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Mejda
Defendant was indicted for the reckless homicides of Jose Martinez and Michael DeLeon. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 9 — 3.) After the trial court granted defendant’s motion acquitting him of the reckless homicide of DeLeon, a jury found him guilty of the reckless homicide of Martinez. Defendant was sentenced to a year in prison and now appeals. He contends that: (1) the trial court erred in refusing to further instruct the jurors upon their request; and (2) there was no evidence that the body examined by the pathologist was that of the victim Martinez. We affirm.
