The Illinois Appellate Court row in Ottawa pronounced Whiteside County Judge Jeffrey OConnors purported snooze was submissive as prolonged as he wasnt sleeping during essential justification or motions during Nicholas Sheleys 2014 trial. Sheley was on conference for a murder of 4 people in Rock Falls in what was a murder debauch that left 6 passed in Illinois and dual in Missouri.
OConnor allegedly fell defunct while a lights were low and confidence camera footage was being played for a jury. OConnor denied a allegations.
If we was not looking during a video, that does not meant that we was not listening and conference all that was being said, pronounced OConnor.
Sheley, who is portion 8 uninterrupted life sentences, sought a new conference since he purported OConnor regularly napped.
Of march it should be involuntary annulment if a decider falls asleep, pronounced Sheleys attorney, Steve Greenberg. It sends an awful summary to a jurors that whatever is going on is only not important.
Appellate Judge Mary OBrien also disagreed with a majority, citing a Cook County murder self-assurance that was discharged after a decider left a dais during a conference to take a phone call from another judge.
A decider can't be actively benefaction on a dais when he is asleep, OBrien said.
