Description
John K. Byers, Judge The four defendants were tried by a jury on charges of conspiracy to sell or deliver, and possession
with intent to sell or deliver, 30 grams or more of a substance containing cocaine. Upon conviction, the trial court imposed
sentences in accordance with the Class X felony provisions of the Drug Control Act. On appeal the defendants say the Class X provision is constitutionally defective in various ways, and say the trial court
should have instructed the jury on lesser included offenses In addition, appellant Cliburn says his trial should have been
severed; appellant Patterson says the jury was tainted by publicity about the drug related death of a prominent athlete; and
appellant O'Quendo says the evidence is insufficient to support his conspiracy conviction.
