People v. Simpson
In 2006, a group of men beat another man to death in the area of Parkside and Waller in Chicago. An elderly resident of the neighborhood testified for the State as to his observation of what occurred, and he identified this defendant in a lineup a few days after the crime, but, at trial, he was unable to pick the defendant out in the courtroom. Simpson was found guilty by a Cook County jury and received a sentence of 36 years and six months.
