Description
Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of murder and two counts of attempted murder (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, pars. 9-1(a), 8-4, respectively), and sentenced to concurrent terms of 40 years, 20 years and 20 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Defendant appeals, contending that: (1) the trial court erred in Page 870 denying motions to quash arrest and to suppress his confession; (2) defendant was denied a fair trial when the prosecution showed an inflammatory photograph of the deceased to the jury in violation of a ruling in limine; and (3) the States inflammatory and highly improper statements made during opening statement and closing argument prejudiced defendants right to a fair trial. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial courts judgment.
