Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Defendant pled guilty to residential burglary and 2 counts of aggravated battery. Defendant later moved to withdraw his guilty plea, arguing that counsel had incorrectly advised him as to legal standards for residential burglary. Court erred in not appointing new counsel to pursue Defendant’s pro se claim of ineffective of counsel. None of the 3 certificates filed by counsel was strictly compliant with Rule 604(d). (SCHMIDT, concurring; WRIGHT, dissenting.)
