Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of criminal sexual assault of his daughter, then age 15. No ineffective assistance of counsel, as counsel advised Defendant of range of possible nonmonetary penalties for offense, and court admonished that sentence would include MSR and possibly a fine; and counsel advised him that pleading guilty to lesser offense might result in less than four-year minimum. Failure to mention probation was not deficient performance. (TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
