Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Defendant pled guilty to attempted aggravated robbery and was sentenced to 11 years. No good cause to overlook untimeliness of Defendant's motion to vacate bond, which was filed several years late. Record does not support Defendant's claim that he misunderstood his guilty plea. Illinois Supreme Court has abolished the "void sentence rule" that a sentence that does not conform to a statutory requirement is void. (REYES and PALMER, concurring.)
