Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Postconviction Petitions
Defendant pled guilty to aggravated kidnapping and was sentenced to six years imprisonment. Court properly dismissed Defendant's postconviction petition alleging ineffective assistance of counsel and improper admonishments regarding plea consequences. His affidavit was not valid, as it was not notarized, and record is silent as to evidence his attorney gave him prior to guilty plea; thus, allegations in petition were not supported by record, as is required when petition is not properly supported by affidavits or other evidence. Although court did not admonish Defendant that he would have to serve 85% of his sentence, court was not obligated to inform Defendant of collateral consequences of his plea.(McLAREN and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
