PEOPLE v. CRITTENDEN

No. 85-1117.

149 Ill. App.3d 121 (1986)

500 N.E.2d 678

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. NORMAN CRITTENDEN, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — First District (4th Division).

Opinion filed November 6, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James J. Doherty, Public Defender, of Chicago (Mark Stein, Assistant Public Defender, of counsel), for appellant.

Richard M. Daley, State's Attorney, of Chicago (Joan S. Cherry, James E. Fitzgerald, and Wallesca Dias-Lopez, Assistant State's Attorneys, of counsel), for the People.


Reversed and remanded.

PRESIDING JUSTICE LINN delivered the opinion of the court:

Following a bench trial at which defendant, Norman Crittenden, represented himself, he was convicted of theft (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 16-1(a)) and sentenced to a term of two years. On appeal he contends that the trial court's failure to comply with Supreme Court Rule 401(a) (87 Ill.2d R. 401(a)) rendered his attempted waiver of counsel ineffective.
