1. ““First, we uphold the trial court’s findings of historical fact unless such findings are against the manifest weight of the evidence. [Citation.] The trial court is in a superior position to determine and weigh the credibility of the witnesses, observe the witnesses’ demeanor, and resolve conflicts in their testimony. [Citation.] However, this court remains free to undertake its own assessment of the facts in relation to the issues presented and may draw its own conclusions when deciding what relief should be granted. [Citation.] Accordingly, we review de novo the ultimate question of whether the evidence should be suppressed. [Citation.]” People v. Conner, 358 Ill. App. 3d 945, 948-49 (2005).”
