People v. Marcum

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that defendant waived his statutory speedy-trial claim by failing to timely move for discharge, and that the statutory violation alone could not be reviewed as plain error. The court also held that the trial court substantially complied with the requirements for waiving counsel because the inaccurate admonishments did not prejudice defendant, and that the waiver continued through sentencing. The appellate judgment was affirmed, with the cause remanded for resentencing on the reduced aggravated-battery convictions.
