Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Terms of MSR (mandatory supervised released) are not discussed during plea negotiations; there is nothing to negotiate, as MSR terms are mandated by statute for any sentence imposing term of imprisonment. As long as trial court informs the defendant at the time of his guilty plea that an MSR term must follow any prison sentence that is imposed upon him, he has received all the notice and due process to which he is entitled as to MSR. (APPLETON and McCULLOUGH, concurring.)
