We further noted that all five Illinois appellate districts had denied relief in direct appeals of pre-May 19, 1975 guilty pleas by defendants challenging the trial court's failure to admonish them of mandatory parole terms. See People v. Deckard, 32 Ill. App.3d 497, 336 N.E.2d 614 (1975); People v. Tate, 37 Ill. App.3d 358, 346 N.E.2d 79 (1976); People v. Stambor, 33 Ill. App.3d 324, 337 N.E.2d 63 (1975); People v. Giles, 35 Ill. App.3d 514, 341 N.E.2d 410 (1976); People v. Bosse, 32 Ill. App.3d 422, 336 N.E.2d 216 (1975). We also cited two cases in which appellate courts refused to grant relief under the Illinois Post-Conviction Hearing Act, Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 38, ยง 122-1 et seq.
His hearings were held on July 31 and August 2 of 1974. In cases where defendants have filed direct appeals from their pre- Wills guilty pleas to challenge the trial court's failure to admonish them about the parole provisions, every Illinois Appellate Court has denied relief.People v. Deckard, 32 Ill. App.3d 497, 336 N.E.2d 614 (1st Dist. 1975); People v. Tate, 37 Ill. App.3d 358, 346 N.E.2d 79 (2d Dist. 1976); People v. Stambor, 33 Ill. App.3d 324, 337 N.E.2d 63 (3d Dist. 1975); People v. Giles, 35 Ill. App.3d 514, 341 N.E.2d 410 (4th Dist. 1976); People v. Bosse, 32 Ill. App.3d 422, 336 N.E.2d 216 (5th Dist. 1975). Those courts have either reasoned that Wills made such admonitions unnecessary, or that such an omission is not enough by itself to warrant reversal.
Brown, at 933; see People v. Hollins (1972), 51 Ill.2d 68, 71, 280 N.E.2d 710. The State suggests that this court overlooked the prior decision in People v. Deckard (1975), 32 Ill. App.3d 497, 336 N.E.2d 614, in its original opinion. That decision was not overlooked by this court in its consideration of this case; it was not referred to in the court's opinion because it involved a negotiated plea of guilty, while the defendant here was convicted after trial.
