In-court identification gun felony assault firearm specification sufficient evidence shooter reasonable doubt trial court erred beyond reasonable doubt manifest weight adjudication delinquency assignment weight of the evidence testify manifest weight of the evidence discharge no pretrial identification procedure prohibition premises burden of production trier of fact conviction circumstantial element of the offense witness testimony. The trial court erred by admitting unreliable in-court identification of the juvenile defendant when no pretrial identification procedure was at issue. The error was harmless because the remaining evidence supported the delinquency adjudications of felonious assault, one- and three-year firearm specifications, and discharge of a firearm on or near a prohibited place.
