Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Motions to Vacate
(Court opinion corrected 12/3/10.) Court properly denied Defendant's motion to vacate his conviction of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon after he successfully completed his probation. One purpose of Alcohol Dependency Act is to facilitate a defendant's rehabilitation by vacating the conviction from record, thus allowing defendant to more easily reintegrate into society. Consideration of nature and circumstances of the entire offense for which Defendant was charged, and not only for the offense to which Defendant pled guilty, is proper in ruling on motion to vacate conviction. (HUTCHINSON and BURKE, concurring.)
