mourning council surround sound become a defense i mean there's a jury instruction when does it become that yes i would say either if the proof were to insert that as an issue or the pleadings if during the trial either by jury trial would choose to want to lave that knowingly intelligently with his client's commission because he didn't want the jury to be lost on that issue i could see that happening to even pronounce it or contain it it hit the body of law in fact one could say that the cross eight years the fact that this is such a narrow issue but because great case but how is there sifting out the burden of proof by requiring a defendant to bring a motion to dismiss one great actually explicitly states that the burden shifts back to the nation to prove something that are required to prove a trial no venue and i think this really is a helpful case because then the illinois supreme court through its b cases out there that seem to depart from this elegant way which from the supreme court without going into a deeper discussion let's say that was the case that it was a defense in that regard we don't have that everyone you know has set forth that herman doesn't become something that the state has to prove unless the defendant puts them on no what is that they are then challenging and there is a plethora citing the introduction of the defense's chapter is trying to put together all the defenses that a defendant may raise affirmatively such as in his answers such as self defense so just necessity in what they're trying to do is as opposed to saying i have three the influence of a separate jury instruction or this affirmative defense the jury instruction is indicating that rather than have two separate pages you should put that jury instruction with the four but the a certain date you can pick on this first two thousand and ten the parties went to trial but there was no evidence whatsoever i do snow testimony to  as an element of the defense those who see the office so how do we know that the offense did not occur outside of the statute of limitations don't believe in your situation i mean then yes i think that the state would not have been able to have met its burden to prove that their point however whether or not the truth of the date of that crime is not the same as whether or not it's dangerous limitations exceptions it's proven i think that those are two distinct different issues in this instance when you're proving a date or  that don't forget to prove it is that the burden of the defendant if a stitch of limitations exception was an element that has been proven at trial it would not be an offense that the state is charging and they have the authority to charge within this time frame because it's a tolling provision ok so then it's your position that the defendant now has notice you made the allegation you're pleading given a notice now they have to come in and say by a pretrial motion under one fourteen what are they simply what do they put in that motion in this  in this particular case there is no one fourteen motion no one on what should they have put in that motion if indeed they're required to make it or else it's waived what do they put it on this  fast or i want to shoot so they wouldn't have to file a one fourteen motion i don't think our position is that we have had to file one fourteen motion i think the position of the commission of great is that you put the state on notice that they are you in my opinion that there is no statue limitations next affirmative defense because right here it's very nice there is that the snowman what is the point of the defense coming in and firing at your head look to find out if there isn't any when there was no proof with respect to it they called it to the attention of the judge the reason why in this case you wouldn't have to raise it in serious because issue was on appeal was whether or not they could dismiss it out brain or reverse it outright and what the court said was that from the illinois supreme court's pronouncement that this was the elements of the offense the state had approved and from the supreme court of the united states that says that every no mention of a case must be proven trial before the trial that beyond reasonable doubt and i look for further guidance to you lou a supreme court's jury instructions that said the same thing now how would anyone in their right mind nothing that  elements don't risk opening the door shut up sit down and wait for the verdict that you're entitle to that's exactly what happened here when you talk about prejudice the defense attorney listens to the case knows the state already admits by their own pleading that they know they must plead and prove this is an element of the events it's not presented you don't think authority of the supreme court the jury instructions and by the way when we talk about affirmative defenses there is a statute that says when a defendant has to plead no for the defense such as self defen
