Description
Defendant, Roosevelt Evans, was originally convicted in the circuit court of Cook County on pleas of guilty to two separate indictments arising out of the same occurrence. Indictment No. 62-958 consisted of two counts and charged armed robbery and attempted murder of Alex Rosen, and No. 62-957 charged attempted murder of Raymond Sloan. Defendant was sentenced to 20 to 23 years in the penitentiary on No. 62-958 and 10 to 15 years on 62-957, the latter sentence to run concurrently with the first. Sometime thereafter defendant filed a post-conviction petition which was dismissed in the trial court. On appeal we found that certain allegations of defendants petition did make a "substantial showing" of constitutional violations and we reversed and remanded with directions to the trial court to consider defendants contention that he was not properly admonished prior to his plea, and to resolve the uncertainties that seemed to exist relative to the propriety of the sentences imposed. (People v. Evans, 37 Ill.2d 27.) On reconsideration and further answer from the State the trial court again dismissed defendants petition, and the present appeal is from that order of dismissal.
