Supreme Court of Illinois

In a conviction for controlled substance trafficking based upon a traffic stop of defendant's alleged accomplice, motion to suppress all evidence obtained is denied over claims that prosecution had denied the defendant due process by refusing to grant use immunity to the accomplice at the suppression hearing so that he could testify there, where the accomplice's testimony was not necessary to establish the defendant's claim that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the boxes found in the trunk.
