Description
After a jury trial the defendant, Robert Crosser, was convicted of the offense of aggravated battery (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 12-4(b)(1)). He was sentenced to a 30-month term of probation with the first 60 days to be served in the Winnebago County work-release program. The court also fined him $250 plus costs. The defendant appeals and presents four assignments of error: (1) that the trial court improperly refused to give the jury the instructions on intoxication which the defendant tendered; (2) that the trial court erred when it prevented defense counsel from cross-examining the complaining witness regarding his pending civil lawsuit against the accused for damages arising from the defendant's criminal conduct in this cause; (3) that the court below committed error when it refused a defense instruction concerning the jury's consideration of evidence of the defendant's reputation for truth and veracity; and (4) that the court improperly sentenced the defendant to serve 60 days in the work-release program as a condition of probation.
