Publisher Description
Following a bench trial, defendant was convicted of possession of 30 grams or more of a substance containing heroin (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 56 1/2, par. 1402(a)), and was sentenced to nine years in the penitentiary. On appeal, he raises the following issues: (1) that the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the substance he allegedly possessed was heroin; and (2) that sections 8(b) and (d) of the Dangerous Drug Abuse Act are unconstitutional in that they violate the equal protection and due process clauses respectively of the United States and Illinois constitutions.
