Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Burge

March 18, 2021457 Ill. Dec. 719

Summary

The court held that the statutory admonishments concerning collateral consequences of a guilty plea apply only when the plea is entered at arraignment, not when entered later with counsel appointed. It also held that the defendant failed to establish a manifest injustice or reasonably justified misapprehension concerning the employment consequences of her plea, so the denial of her motion to withdraw was not an abuse of discretion. The court affirmed the appellate court's judgment affirming the circuit court.
