This week: an inflated sentencing range, a cross-border pretrial release revocation, a postconviction notice claim rebutted by the record, and a sufficiency reversal over sloppy charging language. People v. Boyd — A revocation sentence must be vacated as plain error where the record shows the court relied on an incorrect, inflated sentencing range, even though the sentence imposed fell within the properly admonished range — https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10920784/people-v-boyd/ People v. Ford — Out-of-state felony charges can support revocation of Illinois pretrial release under section 110-6(a), since the statute contains no limitation to Illinois offenses — https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10920782/people-v-ford/ People v. Dalcollo — A due process claim based on the State's failure to formally reinstate dismissed counts fails where the record shows the defendant had actual notice he was being tried on all charges — https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10919074/people-v-dalcollo/ People v. Jennings — A weapons conviction cannot stand where the State charged and argued blade length alone as the basis for illegality, since blade length alone does not constitute a prohibited weapon under Illinois law, and a battery enhancement fails where the alleged public way was merely a private complex's internal driveway — https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10915011/people-v-jennings/ People v.
