People v. Perteet

Defendant pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He subsequently filed a post-plea motion asserting that he was entitled to additional pre-sentence credit for completing county educational programs while in jail. The circuit court denied the motion and defendant appealed. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the documentation provided by defendant did not establish that he qualified under the statute or rules for the educational credit. (HOWSE and COBBS, concurring)
