People v. Presley

Defendant entered open guilty plea to aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and later moved to withdraw plea based on his attorney's failure to advise him that plea would result in lifetime sex offender registration. Court properly entered directed finding in favor of State, after hearing on Defendant's motion. Counsel's failure to mention lifetime registration requirement was not affirmative misrepresentation as to requirement. Defendant failed to demonstrate prejudice by only bare assertion that he would not have pled guilty, but would have gone to trial, had he known of registration requirement. (JORGENSEN and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
