Description:

Rockford, Illinois criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with trespassing.

Winnebago County jury found defendant, Anthony Richards, guilty of criminal trespass to real property.

The circuit court sentenced him to 18 months of conditional discharge and 12 days in jail.

Outcome: When all the evidence is viewed in a light most favorable to the prosecution, a rational trier of fact could find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the owner of the housing development had authorized a police officer to order defendant to leave the housing development, rendering defendant criminally liable for trespass when he failed to promptly comply with that order.
