Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/23-23.2, sufficiently alleged a reasonable likelihood that the results of the election would change.

People v. Newman, NO. 4-04-0847, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FOURTH DISTRICT, May 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Since defendant filed both a motion to withdraw his guilty plea and a direct appeal, he forfeited the issue of an improper-admonishment claim based on the court's failure to admonish him as to mandatory supervised release pursuant to 730 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/5-8-1(d)(1) as he failed to raise the improper-admonishment claim in either situation.

People v. Williams, NO. 4-04-0610, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FOURTH DISTRICT, May 5, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Attachments to postconviction petition failed to support inmate's allegations that he was unfit to plead guilty to charges stemming from his incarceration on prior convictions as required by 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/122-2. Thus, the petition failed to state the "gist" of a constitutional claim, and it was properly dismissed as frivolous.
