JUSTICE BOWMAN delivered the opinion of the court:
On February 1, 2006, defendant, Marcus V. Baltimore, was charged with the December 2005
burglary of One Stop, a convenience store. Prior to trial, an adverse ruling by the trial court led the
State to file a certificate of impairment pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1) (210 Ill. 2d R.
604(a)(1)) and to pursue an interlocutory appeal to this court. The trial court's decision not to allow
a videotape and various photographs to be introduced at trial forms the basis of the State's appeal.
