People v. Caughlin

Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE SEIDENFELD

delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant, Ronald G. Caughlin, age 29, pled guilty to two separate charges of deviate sexual assault. He seeks to reverse the judgment and to vacate the 4-8 year concurrent sentence imposed, claiming that the court did not advise him of the nature of the charge, the right to remain silent, and did not make a factual determination of the basis for the plea. Supreme Court Rule 402 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 110A, sec. 402), was in effect when the plea was taken.

We conclude that the admonishments were in substantial compliance…
