WALLACE HANCOCK, Defendant-Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "Mr. JUSTICE JONES\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant, Wallace R. Hancock, was initially arrested for the murder of his 20-month-old daughter, Tanya. A three-count indictment filed on December 19, 1975, enlarged the charges to include murder, rape and deviate sexual assault. Pursuant to a change of venue, defendant was tried before a jury in Washington County rather than in St. Clair County where the alleged crimes occurred. He presented an insanity defense. At the close of the State\u2019s case, the court dismissed the rape charge and trial resumed. The jury found defendant guilty of murder and deviate sexual assault; however, the court entered a sentence on the murder verdict only. The sentence imposed was 100 to 200 years imprisonment. Defendant appeals.\nWhile defendant has made numerous assignments of error, our disposition of this case makes it necessary to consider only those questions concerning the defendant\u2019s competency to stand trial and other matters which might arise on a subsequent retrial of this case.\nOn November 19, 1975, the trial court entered an order on the request of defendant, directing Dr. Clifford Gilpin to conduct an examination upon defendant to determine his sanity and competency to stand trial. A similar order on a State request for psychiatric examination was entered on February 27, 1976; however, due to the continuing illness of the psychiatrist named in the February order, the court subsequently appointed Dr. Francis Parks to examine defendant.\nOn April 8,1976, a hearing to determine defendant\u2019s fitness for trial was conducted before the court, sitting without a jury. The only witnesses to testify at the hearing were psychiatrists Dr. Gilpin and Dr. Parks. The defendant first offered the testimony of Dr. Gilpin. Dr. Gilpin was of the opinion that defendant suffered from a psychosis of schizophrenia, that he had lost touch with reality and that as a result of this mental condition he was unable to properly assist in his defense. Dr. Parks, however, testifying for the State, gave an opposing opinion as to defendant\u2019s fitness for trial. He diagnosed defendant as a life-long schizoid personality and further testified that he was a situationally depressive neurotic. On cross-examination, Dr. Parks stated that he assumed that the depression was the result of these events rather than having been present at the time of the alleged crimes\u2019 commission.\nDefendant contends that he was found fit for trial pursuant to a statute which improperly placed the burden of persuasion upon him, thus denying him due process of law and entitling him to a new hearing on the question of his fitness to stand trial. He further contends that at fitness hearings the burden on the State must be to prove the defendant fit for trial beyond a reasonable doubt, not by a preponderance of the evidence.\nThe statute in question is section 5 \u2014 2\u2014l(i) of the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 2\u2014l(i)). It provides:\n\u201c(i) The burden of proving the defendant is not fit is on the defendant if he raises the question and on the State if the State or the court raises the question.\u201d\nAfter our supreme court\u2019s decision in People v. McCullum (1977), 66 Ill. 2d 306, 362 N.E.2d 307, it is settled that section 5 \u2014 2\u2014l(i) is unconstitutional to the extent that it places on the defendant the ultimate burden of proving his unfitness to stand trial. See People v. Garlick (5th Dist. 1977), 46 Ill. App. 3d 216, 360 N.E.2d 1121, appeal denied (1977), 66 Ill. 2d 626, cert. denied (1977), 434 U.S. 988, 54 L. Ed. 2d 484, 98 S. Ct. 620, reaching the same conclusion prior to the McCullum decision.\nThe following quotation from McCullum reveals the court\u2019s reasoning in reaching this conclusion:\n\u201cThough the legislature has the authority to determine the allocation of the burden of producing evidence and the burden of persuasion, it may not allocate these burdens in a manner that \u2018offends some principle of justice so rooted in the traditions and conscience of our people as to be ranked as fundamental.\u2019 Speiser v. Randall (1958), 357 U.S. 513, 523, 2 L. Ed. 2d 1460, 1471, 78 S. Ct. 1332, [1341,].\nThe concept of fitness to stand trial is grounded on the notion that it is fundamental to an adversary system of justice. (Drope v. Missouri (1975), 420 U.S. 162, 171-72, 43 L. Ed. 2d 103, 113, 95 S. Ct. 896.) Fundamental fairness dictates that, where a defendant has raised a bona fide doubt as to his fitness to stand trial, the State, as a matter of due process, should bear the ultimate burden of proving defendant\u2019s fitness to stand trial. [Citation.]\u201d 66 Ill. 2d 306, 314, 362 N.E.2d 307, 310-11.\nFrom the facts of record it is apparent that the unconstitutional portion of this statute was applicable to the instant case. The defendant raised the question of defendant\u2019s fitness to stand trial, and consequently went forward with the evidence at the hearing as is required by statute of the party raising the question. (See Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 1005\u2014 2 \u2014 l(j).) Although the judge did not specifically mention who carried the burden of persuasion, in the absence of any indication to the contrary, we must assume that the trial judge, in allocating the burden of proof on fitness, followed the clear direction of section 5 \u2014 2\u2014l(i). People v. Hubert, 51 Ill. App. 3d 394, 398, 366 N.E.2d 909, 912; see also People v. Bilyew (5th Dist. 1977), 55 Ill. App. 3d 69,73,370 N.E.2d 585, 588; People v. Harris (1st Dist. 1977), 53 Ill. App. 3d 868, 871, 369 N.E.2d 152, 155.\nWith the exception of People v. Goff (4th Dist. 1978), 57 Ill. App. 3d 384, 373 N.E.2d 71, in every case in which this issue has been presented, the reviewing court has reversed the judgment and remanded the cause with directions to conduct a new competency hearing in accordance with the proper allocation of burden. (See People v. McCullum; People v. Garlick; People v. Bilyew; People v. Hubert; People v. Harris.) The new hearing is concerned with defendant\u2019s fitness at the time of the new hearing. If found fit, defendant is afforded a new trial. Although the State has made several arguments with regard to the lack of the necessity of such a disposition here, which we shall discuss presently, we find that McCullum dictates a reversal and remandment of this case.\nGoff is clearly distinguished from our case, as well as from all of the other fitness cases mentioned above. In Goff, the Appellate Court, Fourth District, held that McCullum was inapplicable to the facts presented in that case. The court concluded that there could be .no McCullum burden of persuasion problem since the only testimony at the fitness hearing, provided by a psychologist testifying for the State, was to the effect that defendant Goff was fit for trial. In contrast, in our case there was evidence both of incompetency as well as competency. One psychiatrist believed defendant was unfit, and the other believed he was fit. As noted by this court in Bilyew, a case where the experts are equally divided on the ultimate issue presents an ideal example of a situation where the allocation of the burden of proof would be most likely to influence the court\u2019s decision. 55 Ill. App. 3d 69, 73, 370 N.E.2d 585, 588.\nThe State first argues that there is no basis for the defendant\u2019s argument that it must be presumed that the court imposed upon him the burden of proving his lack of fitness to stand trial. We believe this argument is without merit. We have already expressed our opinion that absent any indication to the contrary we must presume the trial judge followed the clear direction of the statute. A trial court may not ignore a statute until its validity is passed on by the Illinois Supreme Court; if the trial court does not itself declare the statute invalid, then it is the court\u2019s duty to follow the mandate of the statute until its invalidity has been determined. People v. Hubert; People v. Papas (1942), 381 Ill. 90, 44 N.E.2d 896.\nThe State goes on to argue that since the only two witnesses at the fitness hearing were the defense and State psychiatrists who had diametrically opposed opinions, and since the court found defendant fit, it must have found that the preponderance of the evidence established defendant\u2019s fitness, and we should therefore affirm the determination.\nWe cannot agree. A court of review may not speculate as to what result the trier of fact, whether judge or jury, would have reached had the. burden of proof been allocated differently. This is especially true where, as here, the record reveals that the evidence presents a close question as to defendant\u2019s fitness. People v. Hubert; see United States v. DiGilio (3d Cir. 1976), 538 F.2d 972, cert. denied (1977), 429 U.S. 1038, 50 L. Ed. 2d 749, 97 S. Ct. 733.\nThe State\u2019s final argument with respect to the court\u2019s finding of defendant\u2019s fitness is based on the fact that defendant testified at trial. The State argues that defendant\u2019s testimony, which was consistent with his insanity defense, objectively demonstrated that he was fit for trial and that psychiatrist Gilpin\u2019s opinion was incorrect.\nWhile we find this argument beguiling and intriguing, we are of the opinion that we are bound under McCullum to remand this cause for a new fitness hearing. The fact that defendant took the stand and testified cannot necessarily be equated with fitness to stand trial. There are other aspects to assisting in one\u2019s defense other than testifying, such as apprising counsel of other potential witnesses. We are left to pure speculation as to those areas. In this case, hindsight based solely on defendant\u2019s testifying is simply insufficient to overcome the infirmity created in the fitness hearing as a result of the statute.\nIt has been accepted without question for some time that the standard of proof in a competency or. fitness hearing is a preponderance of the evidence (People v. Rosochacki (1969), 41 Ill. 2d 483, 244 N.E.2d 136; People v. Cole, 11 Ill. App. 3d 412, 296 N.E.2d 773). The defendant, however, urges this court to hold that defendant\u2019s fitness for trial must be established beyond a reasonable doubt. He directs our attention to the cases of United States ex rel. Stachulak v. Coughlin (7th Cir. 1975), 520 F.2d 931, cert. denied (1976), 424 U.S. 947, 47 L. Ed. 2d 354, 96 S. Ct. 1419; People v. Pembrock, 62 Ill. 2d 317, 342 N.E.2d 28, and a case upon which they rely, In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358, 25 L. Ed. 2d 368, 90 S. Ct. 1068, characterizing them as recent decisions in related areas which compel the conclusion that proof beyond a reasonable doubt is the proper standard, for fitness hearings.\nWinship involved a review of an adjudication of juvenile delinquency based on the commission of a criminal offense, The Supreme Court there held that judicial intervention into the general course of conduct of a juvenile inimicable to his own welfare cannot take the form of subjecting a child to the stigma of finding that he has violated the criminal law and to the possibility of institutional confinement on proof insufficient to convict him were he an adult. In Stachulak, the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, held th\u00e1t proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for the commitment of an individual under the Illinois Sexually Dangerous Persons Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 38, par. 105 \u2014 1.01 et sequin Pembrock, the Illinois Supr\u00e9me Court found Stachulak\u2019s reasoning persuasive and held that the standard of proof under that statute must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt.\nFirst, we note that this issue was not presented at the trial level and would ordinarily be deemed waived. (See People v. Pickett, 54 Ill. 2d 280, 296 N.E.2d 856.) However, even if we considered it on its merits, we would find that a \u201cbeyond a reasonable doubt\u201d standard is not required. A finding of fitness or unfitness is sufficiently dissimilar to proof of the doing of a criminal act (In re Winship) or that one is a sexually dangerous person (Pembrock; Stachulak) to justify a different standard of proof.\nThe main focus in all of these cases was the defendant\u2019s interests in liberty and reputation. There is no stigma attaching to a finding of fitness or unfitness comparable to that in Winship in finding one a juvenile delinquent because of the commission of a criminal act or in Pembrock in finding one to be a sexually dangerous person. In addition, a substantia] loss of liberty in the fitness situation is a mere probability rather than imminent. If a defendant is found fit, he must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt before he can be imprisoned, and if he is found unfit he must be examined, and thereafter committed to a mental health facility for treatment only if such confinement is determined to be necessary pursuant to the procedures of the Mental Health Code of 1967 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 91\u00bd, par. 1 \u2014 1 et seq.). (See Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 2\u20142.) If hospitalized he is periodically examined so as to proceed to trial as soon as he is fit. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 38, par. 1005 \u2014 2\u20142(b).\nMoreover, a reasonable doubt standard in fitness hearings is not logically or legally required in view of the fact that our supreme court in In re Stephenson (1977), 67 Ill. 2d 544, 367 N.E.2d 1273, held that due process is satisfied in involuntary civil commitment proceedings pursuant to the Mental Health Code of 1967 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 9132, par. 1 \u2014 1 et seq.) by proof by clear and convincing evidence. A fitness determination has less onerous consequences than such an involuntary commitment; a slightly lesser burden of proof is therefore proper.\nWe trust that on retrial the State will refrain from questioning defendant in such manner as to draw attention to his prior prison record and that the prosecutor will not misstate the law with respect to the insanity defense should defendant defend on the basis of it again.\nBoth defendant and the State have advanced opinions as to what this court should do with respect to the court\u2019s imposition of a sentence on the murder verdict but not on the deviate sexual assault verdict. Since our disposition will result in a new trial, we need not concern ourselves with either suggestion and argument. If, however, defendant is found guilty on more than one count on retrial, we suggest to the trial court that People v. King (1977), 66 Ill. 2d 551, 363 N.E.2d 838, our supreme court\u2019s latest pronouncement on the propriety of imposing punishment on closely related counts, would be useful in determining what sentences to impose.\nFor the foregoing reasons, we vacate the finding of fitness and all subsequent proceedings and remand this case for a new fitness hearing during which the proper burden must be imposed. Should the court again find the defendant fit to stand trial, the defendant must be afforded a new trial.\nReversed and remanded.\nG. J.
