Description
Following a jury trial in the circuit court of Morgan County, defendant, Glenn Sullivan, was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of 8 to 20 years. The appellate court reversed the defendant's conviction and remanded the cause for a new trial. It did so on grounds that certain errors committed during the trial, although not preserved for purposes of appeal, did, when considered together, constitute reversible error under the plain error doctrine. (48 Ill. App.3d 787.) We granted the State leave to appeal. On May 29, 1975, at approximately 5 p.m., two masked men entered a liquor store in Meredosia, Illinois, and, at gun point, robbed the store's cashier of a reported $179. The store cashier was unable to identify the faces of her assailants, but she testified that the man armed with the gun was thin and wore plaid pants and that the other man was heavy set and wore a Levi jacket and pants. The two men fled the store in the cashier's blue and white Chevelle.
