    In Salem, the defendant was found guilty in two separate cases on April 12, 2012; the formal sentences were entered on May 17, 2012; the defendant filed motions for new trials on June 5, 2012, that the trial court denied on June 21, 2012; and the defendant filed his notices of appeal on June 22, 2012.

    not filed within 30 days of sentencing nor within 30 days of orders disposing of timely filed motions against the judgment, the appeals were not timely, and thus the appellate court did not have jurisdiction. 2014 IL App (3d) 120390-U; 2014 IL App (3d) 120523-U. For the reasons set forth below, we agree.

  2. People v. Salem

    2016 Ill. App. 3d 120390 (Ill. App. Ct. 2016)   Cited 6 times
    In Salem, "the jury received four times the amount of evidence for the uncharged crimes" as compared to the charged offenses.

    ¶ 39 This court issued a decision dismissing the appeal on the grounds that defendant's notice of appeal, filed on May 9, 2012, was not “timely.” Noting that defendant's motion for new trial was not timely filed within 30 days after the December 1, 2011, verdict, we concluded the untimely posttrial motion did not toll the time for filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of defendant's sentence on February 27, 2012. People v. Salem, 2014 IL App (3d) 120390–U, 2014 WL 5311375. Upon review, our supreme court exercised its supervisory authority to reinstate defendant's appeal and directed this court to vacate our prior decision dismissing the appeal and address the merits of the issues raised in defendant's appeal.
