Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Pursuant to negotiated plea agreement, Defendant pled guilty to criminal sexual abuse. Court erred in denying Defendant's request to withdraw his guilty plea, as defense counsel's Rule 604(d) certificate is deficient, because it fails to show counsel consulted with Defendant about his contentions of error related to his guilty plea AND sentence. A Rule 604(d) certificate which uses the Rule's verbatim language with the "or" rather than "and" does not precisely comply with Rule 604(d). (POPE and KNECHT, concurring.)
