Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Post-Conviction Petitions
(Modified upon denial of rehearing 5/8/19.) Defendant pled guilty to armed violence. As validity of Defendant's guilty plea is undisputed on appeal, Defendant remains bound by it, and his claim of actual innocence, in postconviction petition, cannot be entertained. Actual innocence would be a nonjurisdictional defense to the charge, and a guilty plea waives all nonjurisdictional defenses or defects.(DeARMOND and TURNER, concurring.)
