John, there's a link to a verdict over on FindLaw related to this case: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=il&vol=1944358&in...
It's from 1996 and looks like a circuit court is reversing a decision made in a lower court due to improper screening of the jury. Not 100% sure where this fits into the timeline.
Hi adelle77--TJ's conviction was reversed in 96, but then he was he was re-convicted. The case you found is part of that reversal and reconviction.
