People v. Ferral-Mujica

Court properly denied Defendant's motions to withdraw his plea and reconsider his sentence. Motions, supported by defense counsel's affidavit, contended that trial court told defense counsel during Rule 402 conference that it would sentence Defendant to 8 to 12 years on plea of guilty to aggravated battery charge, but court sentenced Defendant to 16 years. Defense counsel stated to judge that it would be a blind plea. Court thoroughly admonished Defendant under Rule 402, and Defendant confirmed that he had no agreement with State, his attorney, or anyone else, and never said that he did not understand.(HUTCHINSON and ZENOFF, concurring.)
