concept waiver in Illinois

1992As previously stated by this court, “substantial defects are not waived by failure to make timely objections thereto if the interests of justice require.” (People v. Ogunsola (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 216, 222 ; 134 Ill. 2d R. 451(c).) Fundamental fairness includes, among other things, seeing to it that “ ‘[cjertain basic instructions, essential to a fair determination of the case by the jury (e.g., burden of proof, elements of offense charged), must be given, and the concept of waiver will not be employed to bar reversal if a defendant has been convicted in the absence of these instructions.’ ” Robe

1992However, as this court observed in Fierer, “ ‘ “[cjertain basic instructions, essential to a fair determination of the case by the jury (e.g., burden of proof, elements of offense charged), must be given, and the concept of waiver will not be employed to bar reversal if a defendant has been convicted in the absence of these instructions.” ’ ” (Emphasis in original.) (Fierer, 124 Ill. 2d at 186 , quoting People v. Roberts (1979), 75 Ill. 2d 1, 13 .) Thus, as in Fierer, despite the lack of a timely objection and the failure to include the issue in a post-trial motion, we will not deem the issue

2007As noted above, “Illinois courts have long held that when a defendant is represented by counsel, the trial court does not have a duty to tell a defendant of his right to testify.” Vaughn, 354 Ill.

2003People v. Gengler, 251 Ill.App.3d 213, 219 , 190 Ill.Dec. 107 , 620 N.E.2d 1368 (1993), citing People v. Pasch, 152 Ill.2d 133, 171 , 178 Ill.Dec. 38 , 604 N.E.2d 294 (1992).

1993(See 134 Ill. 2d R. 451(c); People v. Pasch (1992), 152 Ill. 2d 133, 171 .) Instructions on the elements of the offense charged fall within that category of instructions to which the concept of waiver will not be employed to bar reversal if a defendant is convicted in the absence of a necessary instruction.

1974Even in Jack Spring, Inc. v. Little (1972), 50 Ill.2d 351 , 280 N.E.2d 208 , the case relied on most heavily by the appellant and one which might be read as materially changing the concept of defense to a forcible entry and detainer action, there was a legitimate question about the payment of rent.

2026Our supreme court further described this concept as an analysis wherein “courts must often determine whether litigants have exercised due diligence or, conversely, have willfully disregarded the process of the court or were so indifferent to it that they should be chargeable with culpable negligence.” Boclair, 202 Ill. 2d at 107 (citing 735 ILCS 5/2-1401 (West 2000)).

2020A majority of the appellate court noted that Cabrera “explained the concept of claim of innocence, interchanging it with the rule that the trial court may withdraw a guilty plea when it has good reason to doubt the truth of the plea.” (Emphasis added.) 2019 IL App (3d) 160494 ¶ 34 .

2019In People v. Hancasky , 410 Ill. 148 , 154-55, 101 N.E.2d 575 (1951), our supreme court stated: "[W]e believe it follows that a court may set aside or withdraw a plea of guilty, on its own motion and without the consent of a defendant, in cases where the evidence shows that the defendant is insane, or under some similar disability, or where the court has good reason to doubt the truth of the plea , or where it is affirmatively shown that the plea of guilty was induced by some promise on the part of the State's Attorney or others in authority, or where it is obvious that a defendant has been mi

1993(Enoch, 122 Ill. 2d at 188 , 522 N.E.2d at 1131 .) The basis of the exception for oral motions lies in the concept of waiver; the State is found to have waived the requirement that the post-trial motion be in writing if it does not object to an oral request for a new trial.

1993(See Pasch, 152 Ill. 2d at 171 ; People v. Reddick (1988), 123 Ill. 2d 184, 198 .) Because defendant argues that the instructions given did not properly state the elements of the offense, we will review the issue in spite of his failure to raise the issue during trial.

1993After discussing the concept of waiver of a known right, the court reasoned as follows: “In Crockett v. Reynolds, 76 W.

1993Va. 763, 766 , 86 S.E. 881 , it was said: <*** rpjjg presence 0f an unserved defendant, though accompanied by attorney, merely as a spectator, when the case is called, is not a submission to the jurisdiction of the court, unless in some way he participates in the proceedings therein.
