JUSTICE GARCIA, specially concurring: I agree with the majority that the trial judge complied with Supreme Court Rule 431(b) (eff. May 1, 2007) during jury selection. 401 Ill. App. 3d at 393. Consequently, I see no reason to address the defendant’s claim in the alternative: “[E]ven assuming, arguendo, the trial judge committed error, the error was harmless.” 401 Ill. App. 3d at 395. In any event, I cannot agree with the majority’s alternative analysis, which contrasts this case with this court’s decision in Anderson II because I dissented in Anderson II. People v. Anderson, 399 Ill. App. 3d 856, 867 (2010) (Garcia, J., dissenting). Therefore, I specially concur in the result.
