Description
Defendant was convicted of murder in a jury trial and was sentenced to natural life imprisonment. He appeals his conviction and sentence. The evidence adduced at trial showed that on the afternoon of December 18, 1980, defendant and Leon Moore, the State's principal witness, were on the corner of 61st and Calumet in Chicago selling drugs to the occupants of automobiles stopped at the intersection. At approximately 1 p.m., Maurice Dukes arrived on foot at the corner and began talking to several of defendant's customers. Defendant told Dukes that he could not make any sales until defendant and Moore had exhausted their inventory of drugs for the day. After arguing with Dukes, defendant told Moore that he was going to get a gun. Defendant walked to a nearby building where he and Moore kept their drugs and returned with a .38-caliber revolver that the pair kept in the building. Defendant then shot Dukes as Dukes stood in a doorway. Moore testified that he saw defendant fire five shots and saw Dukes fall to the ground.
