Mr. JUSTICE TRAPP, dissenting in part: I would reverse that portion of the order which suppresses the material delivered by defendant’s mother to the police on the “second day.” The only evidence offered in support of the motion to suppress is the testimony of defendant’s mother to the evidence that he described the location of the “tapes” to her and requested or directed her to give such to the police. The burden of proof is on defendant to show that the seizure was illegal- or was tainted. People v. Boyd, 22 Ill.App.3d 1010, 318 N.E.2d 212; People v. Griffin, 18 Ill.App.3d 873, 310 N.E.2d 746; Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 38, par. 114-12(b). The evidence in this record does not demonstrate a “taint” as found by the trial court.
