Appellate Court Caption

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. TINA S. TILLEY, Defendant-Appellant.

District & No.

Fourth District Docket No. 4-10-0105 September 29, 2011 Defendant's conviction for participation in methamphetamine manufacturing was upheld over defendant's contention that the State failed to prove she participated in the manufacture of 100 to 400 grams of "a substance containing methamphetamine," since the test of a sample of the seized substance showing that it contained methamphetamine was sufficient to prove the entire specimen was "a substance containing methamphetamine" despite the variegated coloring of the specimen.
