Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Seymore

December 4, 20252025 IL 131564

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the trial court’s 30‑day jail sanction for violating electronic monitoring was a final, appealable order and that the sanction does not qualify for good‑behavior credit under the Behavior Allowance Act. The Court also found the appeal was not moot because the public‑interest exception applied. Accordingly, it reversed the appellate court and affirmed the circuit court.
