Description
Together with Danny Cabage, the defendant, Gary Deatherage, was indicted for the unlawful delivery of less than 30 grams of a substance containing cocaine. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 56 1/2, par. 1401(b).) The defendant was tried separately before a jury and convicted as charged. He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The State's case was based on an accountability theory. On appeal, the defendant contends: (1) that he was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because the State's evidence of his accountability was entirely circumstantial and his conduct was explainable by a reasonable hypothesis of innocence; (2) that the trial judge improperly admitted into evidence hearsay statements made by Danny Cabage; (3) that he was prejudiced by the prosecutor's closing argument; and (4) that the trial judge erred in giving only the first paragraph of Illinois Pattern Jury Instruction (IPI), Criminal, No. 3.02 (2d ed. 1981), on circumstantial evidence.
