Supreme Court of Illinois

In the matter of a beating death resulting in the defendant being adjudicated not guilty by reason of insanity, defendant's appeal of a finding that he is in need of inpatient mental-health services, which challenged only the circuit court's predicate finding that he committed first degree murder, is dismissed where there was no jurisdiction for appellate review because the defendant had been acquitted.
