People v. Johnson

Court properly denied Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which included sentencing cap of 40 years, following his conviction for home invasion. Defendant failed to establish prejudice, as he failed to show that rejecting the plea would have been rational under the circumstances if counsel had advised him that he would be unable to appeal his sentence. Had Defendant gone to trial on all 6 charges and been found guilty of both home invasion and armed robbery, he would have received multiple convictions and would have been subject to potential 90 year sentence. (CARTER and HOLDRIDGE, concurring.)
