Appellate Court of Illinois

Adjudication of delinquency based on the offenses of armed robbery and aggravated battery is affirmed over claims that: 1) the identification evidence was insufficient; 2) the trial court erred when it refused to permit expert eyewitness identification testimony; 3) defendant's adjudication for aggravated battery should be reversed because the victim's injuries were not "practically certain" to result from throwing a brick; 4) improper hearsay was admitted; 5) the State made factual misrepresentations in its closing argument; and 6) the compulsory extraction of defendant's saliva and perpetual storing of his DNA profile violate his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
