Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Court violated Defendant's due process rights by failing to properly admonish him per Rule 402A before accepting his admissions to violations of probation. Court failed to inform Defendant of the sentencing range he faced for the underlying narcotics charge or to tell him that an additional 2 years of Mandatory supervised release (MSR) would be imposed on the 10-year prison term he agreed to. Judgment vacated and remanded with directions to allow Defendant either to withdraw his admissions to violations of probation or to accept a reduced sentence of 8 years and 2 years MSR. (CONNORS and ODEN JOHNSON, concurring.)
