People v. Zaremba
Successfully argued People v. Zaremba before the Illinois Supreme Court. In Zaremba, a section of the Illinois Theft Statute made it a felony for a person to knowingly obtain or exert control over property that was in the custody of any law enforcement agency where that person has been officially informed the property was stolen. The Supreme Court held that because the statute did not require a culpable mental state, it could be read to apply to wholly innocent conduct. The Court concluded that the statute is unconstitutional because it does not require that the offender have a criminal purpose. Zaremba was exonerated.
