JUSTICE McCUSKEY, specially concurring: I concur because I recognize that Jennings, a decision of this court, is directly on point. Accordingly, I feel bound by stare decisis. However, I write separately because I believe Jennings was incorrectly decided and will result in unnecessary retrials. In this case, it is not necessary for me to explain the flaws of Jennings. I have already written extensively on the matter in People v. Potts, 277 Ill. App. 3d 567, 568-71 (1996). Further discussion would be redundant.
