JUSTICE COUSINS, concurring in part and dissenting in part: I concur with the decision in the instant case, excepting that part where the court gives the following directions to the trial court: “On remand, the court should allow into evidence testimony concerning all three crimes in trial on charges related to the attacks on L.B. and T.S., especially if the DNA of L.W’s boyfriend proves that she misidentified defendant as the man who attacked her.” 327 Ill. App. 3d at 15. I dissent because, if the DNA of L.W.’s boyfriend proves that defendant didn’t attack L.W, admitting evidence testimony concerning all three crimes related to the attacks on L.B. and T.S. invites error.
