Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Sentencing
Defendant, charged with stealing $46,311 in insurance copayments from medical practice where she worked, entered non-negotiated guilty plea to theft. Court admonished, prior to accepting plea, that she could be fined up to $25,000, but not told that she could also be ordered to make restitution. Court properly denied motion for reconsideration of sentence of four-year prison term and $46,311 in restitution, arguing that court improperly failed to admonish as to restitution. Non-negotiated plea meant no promises of enforceable bargain.
