Ok here it is.. still needs correcting and a few more paragraphs of me bashing "police conduct"
I attended the $$$$ Courthouse on Thursday March 18, located at $#$$$ Ave. I arrived there at 10:20 a.m. and there was about twenty people waiting in line to go through the metal detectors. They had the lines split up by gender. The police officers directed everyone through, and despite their grumpy demeanor, it was a relatively quick process. I walked to the information desk located on the main floors, center- Island. I told the employee on-duty that I was writing a paper for class and she directed me to the second floor, saying thats where the good cases are. She told me that room, 201, had a case that started in 10 minutes.
When I got to the room and sat down in the back because the room was pretty packed. I observed all of the attorneys chatting and looking over files. The bailiff instructed the court room to shut off their phones. After which, he directed everyone to rise as the judge walked into the courtroom. Everyone sat down as the clerk began to read off the first name. I decided to stop taking notes after I witnessed the bailiff yell at someone to put their newspaper away.
It seemed like there was a large variety of cases, from petty misdemeanors to more severe felonies. I observed a number of quite interesting cases, yet it seemed like 2/3 of the cases received continuances.
One of the cases which particularly sticks out in my memory was a DUI case. The accused was a twenty something year old guy that got pulled over for improper lane use. The officer had him perform sobriety tests, yet she turned her spotlight off before having the suspect perform the tests. The lawyer called for, I believe it was 409, at which point the prosecutor and defense attorney both approached the bench. The judge then looked over the defendants file and offered a plea bargain to the defendant.
The defendant refused to blow into a breathalyzer and without the only other piece of possible evidence the state had a weak case. The defendant opted to accept the plea bargain, which was a fine for improper lane use and the DUI was dropped.
A few people in the courtroom accompanied their children, even though of their children were considered adults. It seemed to me, that the judge did go a bit lighter on 17-20 year olds that were accompanied with a guardian. Often their fines just ended up as probation and a small fine sometimes accompanied with a lecture from the judge.
Although most young defendants were accompanied by adult; there were a couple of 18 yr olds that showed up with no guardians. They had a marijuana case that they both plead not guilty too. It seemed that the young men were charged with possession for 6.8 grams of marijuana, falling under Illinois 2.5-10 misdemeanor policy. The officer told the judge the story of a car full of young adults was pulled over and the office found two bags of marijuana, one in the center council and one under the passengers seat. The young men both told stories of how others, not charged with a crime were the ones placing it both under the seat and in the center councel. It seems the officers took the driver and front seat passanger out of the car before the rest of the back seat. The boys were found not guilty. Once again because of police error.
