Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Standing
The complainant in a criminal case does not have standing to bring a petition, pursuant to Section 2-1401 of Code of Civil Procedure, for purpose of challenging a court's prior grant of a certificate of innocence to a criminal defendant. Because court and prosecutor vacated Defendant's conviction and sentence, Petitioner/complainant was no longer a victim and thus was no longer an intended beneficiary of the new implementing statute. (REYES, concurring; LAMPKIN, specially concurring.)
