People v. Williams

Defendant was convicted of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon (UPWF). Defendant was convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW) and later convicted of UPWF, with each conviction occurring before Illinois Supreme Court's 2013 Aguilar decision.  At the time Defendant possessed a firearm, his AUUW conviction had not been vacated. Thus, even though Defendant was convicted of violating a statute later declared void ab initio, he was still subject to the "firearms disability" imposed by Section 24-1.1(a), and State sufficiently proved that fact.(HOLDRIDGE and CARTER, concurring.)
