Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Defendant pled guilty to predatory criminal sexual assault and was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment. Defendant filed motion to reduce sentence, but counsel did not file a certificate of compliance with Rule 604(d). Defendant may, but is not required to under the circumstances file a new Rule 604(d) motion in order to adequately present Defendant's objections to his sentence. A new hearing on the motion should be held, and strict compliance with Rule 604(d) is required. (CHAPMAN and SPOMER, concurring.)
