This is not a recommendation but maybe helpful:

ILLINOIS APPELLATE COURT / CRIMINAL
resisting arrest | 1st Dist.
People v. Carswell, 2026 IL App (1st) 231884 (February 4, 2026) 3d Div./Cook Co. (MARTIN) Affirmed.
Defendant was convicted of resisting arrest and appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient because the State failed to prove him guilty of an underlying offense beyond a reasonable doubt and that the trial court erred by admitting out-of-court statements. The appellate court affirmed, explaining that subsection (d) of the resisting statute, which states that a person is not subject to arrest for resisting arrest unless there is an underlying offense for which the person was initially subject to arrest, was not an element of the offense that the State was required to prove and that construing it as an element of the offense or as an exception or affirmative defense would amount to the court’s adding a provision or limitation where “the legislature did not.” (LAMPKIN and ROCHFORD, concurring)

After a landmark settlement last year by the industry’s powerful trade association, the National Association of Realtors, the battle over private and exclusive listings has become the latest fight over the way homes are bought and sold in America.
