People v. Kashneygreen1 sentence2023However, on remand, if the issue should arise again, the trial court should note our supreme court’s decision in People v. Kashney, 111 Ill. 2d 454, 461 (1986). ¶ 64 III. | 1 | 1 |
People v. Morrealegreen1 sentence1978Where it appears that a plea of guilty is entered “in consequence of misrepresentations by counsel or the State’s Attorney or someone else in authority * * * the court should permit the withdrawal of the plea .of guilty * * (People v. Morreale, 412 Ill. 528, 531-32 (1952).) Mr. McNamara testified, however, that he did not guarantee a minimum of 30 years but merely mentioned it as “a possibility.” The mere belief or hope of a defendant that he will get a shorter sentence by pleading guilty does not permit him to withdraw his plea when that expectation is disappointed. | 1 | 1 |
