In People v. Sanchez, 189 Ill. App. 3d 1011, 546 N.E.2d 268, 137 Ill. Dec. 514 (1989), the defendant and a coconspirator were charged with attempting to murder a guard during a physical struggle involving all three men and a knife. The coconspirator allegedly said "'we are going to kill you now,'" after which the defendant continued to hold the guard and fight with him. Sanchez, 189 Ill. App. 3d at 1015. The appellate court ruled that the statement was probative on the issue of whether the defendant knowingly aided his coconspirator's efforts to kill the guard. Sanchez, 189 Ill. App. 3d at 1015.
