Description
After pleading guilty in the circuit court of Cook County on May 15, 1972, to an indictment charging attempted rape, Mose Dudley, the defendant, was sentenced to a term of from 3 to 8 years. On appeal (15 Ill. App.3d 18) the appellate court affirmed the conviction but reduced the defendant's sentence to a term of 2 years and 8 months to conform with the maximum sentence permitted under the Unified Code of Corrections (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 38, par. 1001-1-1 et seq.). We granted the defendant's petition for leave to appeal. On this appeal the defendant states that his plea of guilty was the result of a plea agreement and that contrary to the provisions of our Rule 402(b) the terms of the agreement were not stated in open court. Nor did the trial judge question him, he says, in open court to confirm the terms of the plea agreement as Rule 402 requires. The defendant asks that his conviction be reversed and the cause remanded with directions that he be permitted to plead again to the indictment.
