People v. Grant

Defendant pled guilty, pursuant to negotiated plea agreement, to possession of cocaine, with agreed-upon sentence of 2 years with credit for 384 days served. Evidence shows Defendant knew he would not receive double sentencing credit by accepting offer, as DOC treats consecutive sentences as one sentence. Sentence credit was not an essential, bargained-for term of his plea agreement. Although court's admonishment could have been improved by explicitly stating Defendant would not receive "double credit", no due process violation as real justice has not been denied and Defendant has not shown prejudice. Thus, court properly dismissed Defendant's postconviction petition.(TURNER and APPLETON, concurring.)
