Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Appellate Procedure
Citation
Case Number: 
No.108846
Decision Date: 
Friday, June 4, 2010
District: 
3d Dist.
Division/County: 
Knox Co.
Holding: 
Appellate court affirmed.
Justice: 
THOMAS
When State asserts that a defendant has forfeited review of an issue, appellate court should first determine if that is correct, and if true, the court should hold him to burden of showing plain error, or record is insufficient for supreme court review. Defendant raised issues for first time on appeal, and failed to establish plain error, thus he has procedurally defaulted, and judgment of affirmance of conviction stands.
