People v. Gray

(Court opinion corrected 3/2/16.) Court properly entered second-stage dismissal of Defendant's petition for relief under Post-Conviction Hearing Act from his conviction, based on negotiated guilty plea, of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. State is not required to disclose potential impeachment evidence before a defendant pleads guilty. Alleged misdeeds of 3 police officers did not involve facts of Defendant's case or any conduct in which Defendant participated; thus, State's failure to disclose to Defendant that these officers had been charged with criminal misconduct,did not invalidate his guilty plea. (SCHOSTOK and ZENOFF, concurring.)
