Decision Date: 
Friday, May 6, 2016
District: 
3d Dist.
Division/County: 
Tazewell Co.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded.
Justice: 
McDADE

Defendant pled guilty to first degree murder. As postplea counsel failed to certify that he consulted with Defendant to ascertain his contentions of error in the guilty plea, remand for new postplea proceedings is necessary. The remedy for failure to strictly comply with Rule 604(d) is remand for filing of a new postplea motion(if Defendant so desires), a hearing on motion, and strict compliance with Rule 604(d).(O'BRIEN and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
