Longo analyzes section 2-615, which governs motions with respect to pleadings: By the very terms of the statute itself, Section 2-615 is a vehicle to strike or dismiss pleadings or parts thereof. It is not a vehicle to strike or dismiss a motion. This is because a motion is not a pleading. A motion is an. application to a court for a ruling or some kind of order in a lawsuit. A pleading, on the other hand, is a cause. of action, counterclaim, defense or reply.
Evidence may include actual physical objects, laboratory test results, observations by law enforcement officials, and things allegedly said by the accused person. While it is standard criminal defense practice to file pretrial motions, many cases resolve before the motions hearing. For those cases that proceed to motions hearing, the great majority of motions that could win the case for the defense are most often denied. On the other hand, motions important to the defense are sometimes granted, in whole or in part, potentially significantly improving the accused person's position.
