Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Jurisdiction
The Illinois Supreme Court considered the question of whether the trial court retains jurisdiction under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 472 to correct an omission in its written sentencing order to include a term of mandatory supervised release that the trial court had previously informed defendant would be included in the sentence as a matter of law. The Supreme Court held that SCR 472 authorizes the trial court to make such a correction. (NEVILLE, OVERSTREET, CUNNINGHAM, ROCHFORD, and O’BRIEN, concurring. HOLDER WHITE took no part.)
