Town of Woodworth<\/a>, 2013 La. App. LEXIS 2869 (La.App. 3 Cir. December 26, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>On an offer of proof at a juvenile hearing, the accused fled from the police when confronted, and he was shot while fleeing. Searched when he was finally stopped by the shooting, a shotgun shell was found on him, and that was the basis of the charge. The trial court noted that there\u2019s nothing suspicious in having one\u2019s hands in his coat pocket walking on a cold Chicago night. The case is remanded for a new suppression hearing because the offer of proof left a void in the record. After taking two years to get through first hearing and the interlocutory appeal, the appellate court wants it expedited on remand, and recommends settling the dispute with \u201ca resolution of this case that is  advantageous to all concerned.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.il.us\/court\/Opinions\/AppellateCourt\/2013\/1stDistrict\/1130421.pdf\">In re Kendale H.<\/a>, 2013 IL App (1st) 130421, 2013 Ill.
