People v. Owens

Mr. JUSTICE REARDON,

specially concurring:

I concur in the result reached in this case but I cannot associate myself with the watering down of the rule approved in People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill. 2d 510, 268 N.E.2d 695.

In a special concurring opinion in People v. Wright (1977), 51 Ill. App. 3d 461, 366 N.E.2d 1058, I articulated my understanding of that rule. I deem it unnecessary to repeat the views expressed there other than to say I adhere to that position.
