Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Battery
Defendant pled guilty to misdemeanor battery. Court properly admonished Defendant prior to her guilty plea, pursuant to statute in effect at that time. While appeal was pending, admonishment requirements changed. It would be inappropriate to remand solely for the retroactive application of amended statute. Defendant failed to testify that she did not previously understand consequences of her plea, but only that she had, over the weekend, thought more about the consequences of plea, which is not a proper ground for withdrawal of a guilty plea. (HOLDRIDGE and LYTTON, concurring.)
