Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Fukama-Kabika

November 30, 20232023 IL 128824

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that Illinois Supreme Court Rule 472 authorizes a trial court to correct a clerical omission of the statutory mandatory supervised release term in a written sentencing order, affirming the lower courts' judgments. The Court also clarified that Rule 472 does not permit arbitrary increases of a sentence and noted the trial court’s failure to give notice, but this procedural defect did not affect the holding.
