Description
Defendant, Darlene Linzy, was indicted in the circuit court of Cook County for the murders of Linda Goodrom and Sharon Donaldson. Defendant filed a motion to quash the indictment because of alleged improper and prejudicial conduct of the prosecutor during the grand jury proceedings. The circuit court examined a transcript of the grand jury proceedings and dismissed the indictment. The appellate court affirmed (62 Ill. App.3d 97), and we allowed the State's petition for leave to appeal (65 Ill.2d R. 315). Two issues are presented for review. First, whether the circuit court had authority to examine the transcript of the grand jury proceedings to determine the propriety of the prosecutor's conduct. Second, whether the circuit court properly dismissed defendant's indictment on the basis of the prosecutor's conduct evidenced in the grand jury transcript.
