POPE
Pro se Defendant entered negotiated guilty plea to domestic battery. Court's docket entry does not clearly establish Defendant was admonished per Rule 605(c). Defendant stated that court did not tell her that she had 30 days to file motion to withdraw guilty plea to preserve her right to appeal; court and State could not recall whether court gave this admonishment. Thus, in protection of Defendant's due process rights, case remanded for court to properly admonish Defendant pursuant to Rule 605(c). (STEIGMANN and TURNER, concurring.)
