Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant filed postconviction petition alleging that court failed to inform him during plea hearing that he would serve three year term of MSR after 16-year sentence. At hearing, court stated what required sentencing range was, what possible fine was, and that Defendant would have to serve at least three years MSR. Court duly advised Defendant of MSR term prior to accepting Defendant's guilty plea, and made clear by its choice of language that 3-year MSR period was mandatory. (HALL and PATTI, concurring.)
