  • finding the trial court properly considered the defendant’s “continued protestations of innocence at his sentencing hearing” as an aggravating factor where the defendant stated he would “undergo therapy to solve this problem if he had it” (emphasis in original)
  • trial court may rely on defendant’s lack of remorse, without running afoul of defendant’s constitutional rights, when convinced that defendant is lying
  • gesture, nodding, or pointing, may \`clearly be the equivalent of an assertive statement'\ where it is made \`for the purpose of deliberate communication'\
  • reli­abil­i­ty hear­ing under sec­tion 115-10 is re­quired be­cause \ad­mit­ting hear­say state­ments de­nies [a par­ty] the oppor­tunity to cross-examine the out-of-court de­clar­ant\
  • \when eval­uat­ing the fa­cial reli­abil­ity of the hear­say state­ments\ under sec­tion 115-10, the court should \sole­ly eval­u­ate the cir­cum­stances when the child-declar­ant made the state­ments\
