Title

  • Burnette v. Terrell

Description

  • Justice Garman delivered the judgment of the court, with opinion. Chief Justice Fitzgerald and Justices Freeman, Thomas, Kilbride, Karmeier, and Burke concurred in the judgment and opinion. In the summer of 2008, the public defender of Cook County, as petitioner, filed an original action in the Illinois Supreme Court, naming as respondent a circuit judge in the Fourth Municipal District of Cook County. It was alleged that an individual assistant public defender had been repeatedly removed from representing indigent criminal defendants in the judges courtroom and that the judge had made his own appointments of other assistant public defenders to provide the needed representation, thus interfering with the public defenders statutory authority.
