While we agree that the questions asked of the later jurors allowed for shorter responses, we do not find in the record any questions tendered by defense counsel that might have elicited a more thorough response. 2d 723, 84 S. Ct. 1509. Its really hard to look back on that time today and understand how that could happen, but it was a different time, but it caused a lot of suffering for that particular victim, she explained. Dr. Ney explained that the second factor to be analyzed in determining the impact of media coverage is the emotional impact created by certain types of articles. We note first that defendant did not exhaust the peremptory challenges that he was given. On cross-examination, Dr. Freedman stated that defendant could not control when the outcroppings would occur. On these facts, we must conclude that defendant waived his right to personally argue the motion for a new trial. Anna Watts for The New York Times. Defendant explained that Robert Piest did not fit the pattern. Ivan Cantu had been condemned for the . Under these circumstances it does not indicate incompetence on the part of defendant's attorneys that they concluded that an assertion of innocence would border on the ridiculous and that confessions might bolster a possible insanity defense. No objection was made to this argument, so it too is waived. (People v. Szabo (1983), 94 Ill. 2d 327, 355.) He stated that this test was relatively new and not currently in widespread use, but that reliability studies showed that experts agreed on their diagnoses of the same patient 88% of the time. Dr. Reifman stated that defendant could not be a pseudoneurotic paranoid schizophrenic because if he had such a defect he would have so many symptoms that he would be "an extremely impaired person" and would be "bothered in every area of his life." R.E. This court rejected that argument in People ex rel. but then released Donnelly near Marshall Field's, where *63 Donnelly worked. While watching the movies in the basement, defendant said, "Let me try something," and chained Lynch's hands behind his back. Defendant argues that the evidence obtained as a result of the searches executed pursuant to the final three warrants must be suppressed as fruits of the prior illegal searches. We decline to disturb the jury's determination. During his testimony, Rignall said there was a third person in the house during his torture. Defendant's third argument concerning this contention is that even assuming the validity of the December 13 search, the underlying complaint for the December 21 search warrant failed to satisfy the two-prong test of Aguilar v. Texas (1964), 378 U.S. 108, 12 L. Ed. This time he was charged with murdering 33 men and boys. Defendant also complains that the People improperly bolstered Dr. Cavanaugh's testimony. In certain instances, where defense counsel asked the court to question the prospective jurors further on the insanity defense, the court did so. Defendant next argues that it was improper for Dr. Garron, called by the People, to state an opinion concerning whether defendant suffered any nonorganic *78 brain disorders when he had been asked as a neuropsychologist to examine defendant for the purpose of determining whether there were any organic brain disorders. native american spiritual retreats patek philippe salary jeffrey rignall testimony transcript. In that instance, defendant requested that the court ask a prospective juror "what he remembers out of the newspapers *31 * * * what he remembers specifically out of the newspapers and radio." The T-shirt and pants are even described as to the manufacturer "Levi." He stated that defendant was emotionally disturbed, acted very nervous, and was "breaking into tears." In the house, Jeffrey slipped in and out of consciousness several times as he was beaten, raped, and tortured. He remembers John being naked and masturbating in front of him. v. But just as the People may not select a jury which is predisposed on a pertinent issue which will arise at trial, the defendant may not seek out a county in which prospective jurors will most likely be predisposed on the defenses which the defendant will raise. Defendant's responses to the Rorschach test, Dr. Traisman explained, indicated that he was a paranoid schizophrenic who had homosexual conflicts, marked feelings of masculine inadequacy, a lack of feeling for other people, and an alarming lack of emotional control or ego control when under stress. The rationale as stated in State v. Whitlow (1965), 45 N. J. ce moment-l , John est venu dans sa voiture et lui a offert un tour et de la marijuana. On cross-examination, Dr. Traisman agreed that it would be correct to say that defendant was a very severely disturbed man "but who reflects sufficient *58 awareness of any aggressive destructive behavior * * * [and] * * * knows the nature of any antisocial acts he might perform and * * * would be quite cognizant of whether or not they are right or wrong on a moral level." He stated to Cram and Rossi that on the preceding night he had confessed more than 30 killings to his lawyers. Defendant did suggest questions on other subjects for the court to ask, and these were generally pursued. He stated that defendant was very sensitive about where the employees dug, and would place markers designating the specific area in which the trenches were to be dug. This issue was waived. The jury was also aware of the brutal nature of many of the murders and of the youth of many of the victims. For example, referring to defendant as an "admitted homosexual" could give the reader a negative attitude towards the defendant which could make it difficult for that reader to objectively view the remaining information contained in the article. The circuit court ruled that Dr. Eliseo could not base his opinion on defendant's statements, but Dr. Eliseo was allowed to answer a hypothetical question which included most of the pertinent facts concerning defendant's life which were shown by lay witnesses and defendant's confessions. 2d 637, 645, 89 S. Ct. 584, 590-91.) We do not agree, however, that the fact that Officer Schultz waited some 40 hours before telling Lieutenant Kozenczak of the odor he detected while in defendant's home automatically invalidated the probative value of this evidence. The circuit court told defense counsel that in order for the court to properly evaluate the motion, counsel needed a letter from the research firm explaining what the firm proposed to analyze and how such an analysis would be conducted. People v. Sailor (1969), 43 Ill. 2d 256, 260; People v. Novotny (1968), 41 Ill. 2d 401, 410. Barclay v. Florida (1983), 463 U.S. 939, 77 L. Ed. Defendant's sister stated that she once found silk underpants in defendant's bed, and that when she was five or six years old, defendant had taken his mother's underwear and put it underneath the porch. Also, because of the prejudicial nature of the articles printed in Cook County, such as the articles associating defendant's trial counsel as one who sets killers free, prospective Cook County jurors were more likely to have *42 prejudicial preconceived ideas about defendant's cause. In People v. Jones (1982), 94 Ill. 2d 275, the jury was informed that the defendant had been involved in numerous murders and had assaulted a couple living in East St. Louis, slashed the woman's throat, bludgeoned her face and head, cut deep gashes in her hands and arms, decapitated her husband, and carried the head of the husband and later discarded it. VI, sec. Moreover, since Dr. Reifman testified that he testified on behalf of defendants about 60% of the time, even if the estimate is inaccurate, it was not totally unwarranted. Defendant also contends that the news media, permitted to attend the voir dire, could reveal the questions leading to excusal of jurors, thus enabling prospective jurors to learn of these questions and formulate answers which would either avoid or require their own excusal. He testified that "borderline" appeared for the first time in psychiatric nomenclature in Diagnostic Statistical Manual III (DSM III), that the diagnosis was quite controversial, and that "it is our single outstanding problem." The transsexual lover testified that O'Rourke had gone out to get cigarettes one night and never returned. Defendant's mother, Marian Gacy, testified that defendant was an unhealthy baby and was not expected to live. Defendant next contends that there were many instances where the People engaged in improper closing argument. We also note that the Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence notwithstanding the consideration by the sentencing court of a nonstatutory aggravating factor. Wilder accompanied Rignall during his stake-outs. She was of the opinion that defendant was not legally responsible for his actions under the Illinois standard, and that defendant would have killed his victims even if a police officer had been present at the time of the murder. Thinking that defendant was a policeman, Donnelly approached the car. Defendant next contends that his trial counsel was incompetent since he failed to present other mitigating evidence. Defense counsel stated: "We will hear a lot of evidence, great detail, that John Gacy went out in the evening, picked up boys, and these boys were all the same in the same category; certain age group, certain body build, certain color hair, certain sexual preferences." The circuit court emphasized the emotional connection that the inhabitants of Cook County had with this case because of the type of publicity, e.g., human interest stories and community interest stories, combined with the "particular community interest" in determining that the prejudicial impact of news reports required a change of venue. We rejected the defendant's arguments in that case, and find that case apposite here. The People respond that in this case the evidence was relevant since "the validity and reliability of various schools of psychiatric diagnosis were attacked by both sides" and that "any information on the reliability of Dr. Cavanaugh's technique was a proper matter for the jury's consideration." Defendant had confessed *93 that he had picked up one of the young men whose body was found in the river at Clark and Lawrence in Chicago, one block from where O'Rourke and his transsexual lover were living. Defendant contends that because of the circuit court's refusal to provide funds for a publicity survey and a publicity analysis he was denied the right to a fair trial and the effective assistance of counsel. He was allowed to testify, without objection, that defendant described to him the conditions under which Robert Piest was killed and that while describing *72 this murder in great detail he showed no "ordinary manifestations of human feeling," that defendant exhibited a "certain amount of pride" in being able to use his cunning to overcome the strength of the "young and stupid" "muscular youths," and that defendant was very disturbed by the fact that Dr. Freedman's books were piled up in his office in a disorderly fashion. When he regained consciousness, the object that was placed in his rectum was still there. After drawing a diagram of where the bodies were located in the crawl space, defendant put his hands over his face and stated: *49 "What's going on. Defendant was sentenced to death on 12 counts of murder and to terms of natural life on each of the remaining murder counts. The assistant State's Attorney stated that he had the name of an "interviewer" who was told by Dr. Rappaport that he was available for an interview, but would not disclose the name unless instructed by the court to do so. The complaint stated: The search warrant recited that probable cause had been established and it directed the police to: Defendant argues that the warrant failed to satisfy the "basis of knowledge" test of Aguilar v. Texas (1964), 378 U.S. 108, 12 L. Ed. On redirect examination, Dr. Freedman stated that he gave an opinion in that case because he was with Mr. Nelson and saw "a total reenactment under my eyes of a dissociated state by psychotic episode in which this man killed his *79 beloved six children * * *." He explained that the description of narcissistic personality contains many of the elements of the antisocial personality, and that the antisocial personality is a subtype of narcissistic personality. Rignall and Wilder published 29 Below a book about the attack and the couples subsequent investigation into Gacys identity in 1979. He reviewed all of the medical reports on defendant. Defendant also complains that he should have been permitted more than the 20 peremptory challenges allowed by statute. We note, also, that the evidence that defendant had confessed to 30 murders to his attorneys came from Cram's statement that defendant told him that he had told his attorneys that he had killed 30 people. She testified that during the marriage she had complained of the terrible smell emanating from the crawl space; that one time she went away for a few days, and when she returned the smell had gone, and defendant stated that he had poured concrete in the *54 crawl space. He also remembered hearing airplanes during the attack, so he knew that the house was in close proximity to the airport. He stated that all the boys were in a certain age group and of a certain build because these boys represented the fit and trim build he was unable to attain as a youth. He was put to death in 1994. Defendant then stated he had come into the house to get something, but left with nothing, and when she looked through the curtains she saw a young boy with blond hair get into the car. About Us; Services; Gallery; Contact Us Facebook He diagnosed defendant as having an antisocial personality. HOUSTON (AP) A Texas judge has stopped next week's scheduled execution of a death row inmate who has long said he's innocent so there can be more time to review his claims that he was convicted more than 20 years ago with false testimony and questionable evidence. At Area 6 police headquarters, after twice being advised of his rights, defendant told Janus that he had offered Donnelly a ride, that while riding together the conversation turned to performing sex acts for money, to which Donnelly agreed, that they went to defendant's house, performed "slavery sex" "where they bound each other with handcuffs and chains, watched pornographic movies, committed acts of deviate sexual assault upon each other and used candles and dildos, also." The People argue that the following evidence sufficiently proves a corpus delicti: Piest's body was recovered naked except for a pair of socks, the handcuffs used on Piest were recovered, there was no conceivable motive for killing Piest unless defendant was trying to cover up a deviate sexual assault, and the pattern of killing by defendant supports a contention that a deviate sexual assault occurred. Defendant cites the cases of People v. Kubat (1983), 94 Ill. 2d 437, People v. Haywood (1980), 82 Ill. 2d 540, and People v. Jenkins (1977), 69 Ill. 2d 61, in support of his contention that the giving of conflicting instructions to the jury was reversible error. Defendant told his counselor, and other inmates, that he was in prison for showing porno films to adolescents, and showed disdain for homosexuals. (Globe Newspaper Co. v. Superior Court (1982), 457 U.S. 596, 603, 73 L. Ed. It was learned that the receipt was in Piest's possession when he disappeared and the class ring was owned by John Szyc, who had been reported missing. 2d 1326, 102 S. Ct. 2922, aff'd on remand (5th Cir.1982), 686 F.2d 311, vacated and remanded (1983), 463 U.S. 1223, 77 L. Ed. When questioned concerning Dr. Morrison's diagnosis of atypical psychosis, Dr. Fawcett found no factual basis, and that the term "psychological hallucination," in his opinion, did not meet the criteria for the type of hallucination that is used in the criteria for the diagnosis of a psychosis. As we have already noted, since there never was a question concerning whether defendant actually committed the 33 murders, the instruction was unnecessary, and thus there was no reason for defense counsel to tender such an instruction. Defendant first argues that the following remark helped to deny him a fair sentencing hearing: "I will be frank with you, ladies and gentlemen, as a citizen of the State of Illinois myself, I don't want to pay this guy's rent for the rest of his life." Now, Peacocks new docuseries, John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise,shows how, in the face of trauma and the deeply entrenched societal homophobia of the 1970s, Rignall made it his mission to find Gacy and keep him from hurting anybody else. Defense counsel insisted that the insinuation was "obvious," and the court reiterated that it did not necessarily interpret the question in that manner and that "it better not be argued that way" and that the assistant State's Attorney "better tell whoever is going to argue not to argue that." In particular, human interest stories appeared predominantly in the Cook County news media. His face was scarred and swollen and he was bleeding from his rectum. These contentions were considered and rejected in People v. Davis (1983), 95 Ill. 2d 1, 34-36, and will not be reconsidered here. Trial counsel presented numerous pretrial motions and vigorously objected to perceived errors throughout the trial. The court, noting the rule that only treating physicians could testify "as to [their] medical opinions based upon subjective symptoms described by the patient," held that it was not an abuse of discretion for the trial court to so limit the psychiatric testimony. 1801, 1809, 69 S. Ct. 1347, 1358) is inapplicable to this situation. Defendant's mother was conscientious concerning defendant's education, and was supportive of defendant in his childhood and even in his adult life when defendant returned to Chicago. We find it unnecessary to address these contentions.
