AMENDED MOTION
TO WITHDRAW PLEA OF GUILTY AND VACATE JUDGMENT
Now comes the Defendant, by and through his attorney of the Evanston Community Defender
Office, Inc. and having received and reviewed the transcript of the plea proceedings held on
January 8,2001, now make herein amendments to adequately set forth the defects in those proceedings and indicate that the text of the motion originally containing paragraphs 1 through 8 are set forth herein with amendments separately labeled and begin with paragraph 9:
ORIGINAL
MOTION TO WITHDRAW PLEA OF GUILTY AND VACATE JUDGMENT
Now comes the Defendant, by and through his attorney, of the Evanston Community
Defender Office, Inc., and moves this Honorable Court, pursuant to lllinois Supreme Court Rule
604( d), to enter an Order vacating the judgment and allowing the Defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty previously entered and to set this case for trial. In support of this motion, the Defendant states as follows:
1.
2.
The Defendant was originally charged by indictment with six counts of
Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault.
On January 8, 2001, the Defendant entered a plea of guilty to one count amended to the charge of Attempt Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault, a Class 1 felony.
The remaining five counts were each Nolle Prosequi by the state.
3.
4.
S.
6.
The tenns of the plea negotiation, and the understanding of the defendant at the time of the plea, were as follows. In exchange for his plea of guilty to Count One amended to the charge of Attempt Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault he would be sentenced to S years in the Department of Corrections with credit for time served. The Defendant would be awarded good time credit at a rate of SO% and would be credited for 698 days served, thus constituting a sentence of "time served". In addition, the Defendant was told a consequence of pleading guilty was he would have to register as a sex offender for a period of ten years, pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act, 730 ILCS IS011 et seq. This category of registrant and the period of registration was stated on the record and the category of sex offender was designated on court documents.
On January 19,2001, the Defendant was transported from the Cook County Jail to the Joliet Correctional Center in Joliet, Illinois. The Defendant, having pled guilty to a Class 1 felony, would be subject to a two year mandatory supervised release. The Defendant was released that same day, and placed on transportation to the Chicago area with instructions to stay that evening at the Rest House, 941
West Lawrence, Chicago, Illinois. The next morning the shelter closed, and the
Defendant went to his home. On the following Monday, January 22,2001, parole agents arrived at his residence and attached an ankle bracelet to the Defendant infonning him that he would remain on this monitoring system for 2 years (the balance of his mandatory supervised release). He was also told he must remain within his residence.
When the Defendant entered his plea, it was without the knowledge, nor was he admonished, that he would be subject to electronic home detention, basically a fonn of incarceration, throughout his tenn of mandatory supervised release. If the
Defendant had this knowledge he would not have entered the plea.
Furthennore, the Defendant has registered with the Evanston Police Department as required by admonishment at the time of the plea. The registration agent of the
Evanston Police told the defendant that the Illinois State Police set all periods of registration, and that the Illinois State Police have infonned the Evanston Police that the Defendant will have to register for life. If the Defendant had the
7.
8. knowledge at the time of his plea that the length of registration could be interpreted and extended by the Illinois State Police to require him to register for life, he would not have entered the plea.
Therefore, the plea of guilty was not knowingly and intelligently made. The
Defendant was not admonished or otherwise made aware of significant consequences prior to or at the time of his plea. Specifically, those consequences include: further incarceration and restriction of movement on electronic monitoring for two years thus extending his sentence beyond that contemplated at the time of the plea; and an increase in the required registration period from ten years to life.
Thus, this Court should allow the Defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty because the Defendant did not enter into the plea knowingly and intelligently, and vacate the judgment entered.
AMENDMENTS TO MOTION BASED UPON REVIEW OF TRANSCRIPT OF
PROCEEDINGS OF JANUARY 8, 2001
9. During the plea proceedings, the Defendant was not admonished that there was a two-year period of mandatory supervised release, and that said supervised release would be served in its entirety on electronic monitoring. Transcript attached as
Exhibit One.
10. Furthermore, the Defendant was not have accepted the plea agreement and pled guilty had he known of or had he been admonished concerning these matters.
11. The Defendant's guilty plea should be vacated because it was entered without a full understanding of the consequences of his decision. People v. Smith, (1996)
285 Ill. App. 3d 666, 221 Ill. Dec. 703,676 N.E. 2d 703; People v. Day, (2000)
311 Ill. App. 3d 271, 244 Ill. Dec. 106, 724 N.E. 2d 994.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant requests this Honorable Court to allow him to withdraw his plea of guilty, vacate the judgment, and set this case for trial.

I, of the Evanston Community Defender Office, Inc., attorney for the Defendant in this cause, state that:

2.
3.

I have drafted a motion to withdraw his plea setting out these errors and will made such amendments to the motion as are necessary for an adequate presentation of any defects in those proceedings.

AFFIDA VIT IN SUPPORT OF
MOTION TO WITHDRAW PLEA OF GUILTY AND VACATE JUDGMENT
I, employee of the Evanston Community Defender Office, Inc. and attorney of record for
Defendant, here by state on oath that the following facts are true and accurate and relate to facts that do not appear of record in the above-cited case: l. On January 19, 2001, the Defendant was transported from the Cook County Jail to the Joliet Correctional Center in Joliet, Illinois. The Defendant was released that same day, and placed on transportation to the Chicago area with instructions to stay that evening at the Rest House, 941 West Lawrence, Chicago, Illinois. The
2.
3. next morning the shelter closed, and the Defendant went to his home. On the following Monday, January 22, 2001, parole agents arrived at his residence and attached an ankle bracelet to the Defendant informing him that he would remain on this monitoring system for 2 years (the balance of his mandatory supervised release). He was also told he must remain within his residence.
When the Defendant entered his plea, it was without the knowledge, nor was he admonished, that he would be subject to electronic home detention, basically a form of incarceration, throughout his term of mandatory supervised release. If the
Defendant had this knowledge he would not have entered the plea.
Furthermore, the Defendant has registered with the Evanston Police Department as required by admonishment at the time of the plea. The registration agent of the
Evanston Police told the defendant that the Illinois State Police set all periods of
$ [[Sf:[" I,ll
.. registration, and that the Illinois State Police have informed the Evanston Police that the Defendant will have to register for life. If the Defendant had the knowledge at the time of his plea that the length of registration could be
, interpreted and extended by the Illinois State Police to require him to register for
Ii fe, he would not have entered the plea.

MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT
Now comes the Defendant, by and through his attorney of the Evanston Community
Defender Office, Inc., and moves this Honorable Court to dismiss Counts 2 and 3 of the indictment. In support of this motion, the Defendant states as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The Defendant is charged by indictment with six counts of Aggravated Criminal
Sexual Assault.
Count 2 of the indictment alleges that "the Defendant committed an act of sexual penetration upon victim, to wit: contact between Defendant's penis and victim's mouth by "the threat of force or use of force and the criminal sexual assault was perpetrated during the course of the commission of the felony of unlawful restraint by Defendant." See attached Exhibit A.
Count 3 of the indictment alleges that "the Defendant committed an act of sexual penetration upon victim, to wit: contact between Defendant's penis and victim's vagina by the threat of force or use of force and the criminal sexual assault was perpetrated during the course of the commission of the felony of unlawful restraint by Defendant." See attached Exhibit B.
A person commits unlawful restraint when "he knowingly without legal authority detains another." 720 ILCS 5/10-3 (West 2000).
Unlawful restraint is a factor inherent in the offense of criminal sexual assault when the sexual assault and the unlawful restraint each were an interrelated act in
6.
7.
8. the same transaction. People v. Allman, 180 Ill. App. 3d 396, 405, 535 N.E.2d
1097, 1102 (1 sl
Dist. 1989). See also People v. Bowen, 241 Ill. App. 3d 608, 609
N.E.2d 346 (1993).
Factors inherent in an underlying offense cannot be used to enhance that offense.
People v. Haron, 85 Ill. 2d 261, 422 N.E.2d 627 (1981).
In Counts 2 and 3 of the Defendant's case, the offenses of criminal sexual assault were enhanced to aggravated criminal sexual assault based on commission during the felony of unlawful restraint.
Because unlawful restraint is already a factor inherent in the offense of criminal sexual assault it cannot be used a second time as an aggravating factor. People v.
Brials and McGlaston, 732 N.E.2d 1109, 2000 Ill. App. LEXIS 520 (1 sl
Dist.
2000).
WHEREFORE, the Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss
Counts 2 and 3 of the indictment.

The Open./ludio Project began in 1991 with an intention; to make art and to be of .service. four art therapists who were also exhibiting artisf5 began this enterprise. They were 05 committed to making art as they \Jere to working with c.lients. After many years of experienc.e they realized that only by engaging regularly with the creative process could they help others do the same. l)efore raising money and opening a studio, a pilot project at a storefront gallery spac.e in the river north area of Chicago was tried out.
For one month, the artists/art therapists held \Jorkshops and Iec.tures for the general public as \Jell as several agencies inc.Juding a community mental health center, a public schooL and a children's home. After the pilot. the three \Jomen \Jho remained were committed to the project. They raised a year's wOrth of rent, developed a business plan and rented a sPace in
Vicker Park. Over the next 6 years, a unique process was developed.
The Process has proven successful with a variety of people in many settings. ~eside.s running programs in the studio. the facilitators have led programs for school children. residents of homeless shelters. and various cJients and staff in community mental health centers. The
Process has been presented at universities and conferences around the country.
In 1999, the founders decided to close the ChicagoJtudio (as of june, 2000) and continue working with this process separately.
Vhat follo\.led \Jas a year long procedure of "growing pains" meetings with active partiCipants, plus meetings \Jith a MacArthur foundation Volunteer from the Arts and ~usiness Council of Chicago. as each partner determined their new paths.
Dayna ~. ~Iock. one of the original co-founders. is nO\J

Dear IV[S. Searles,
Enclosed is our application to be considered for the Rotary Club of Evanston Lighthouse Fund
We appreciate the opportllnity to introduce the Open Studio Project, Inc. to the Rotilry Club of
Evanston.
The Open Studio Project is a not-for-profit community arts organization founded in 1992. Our mission is to bring the creative process to interested ind.ividuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds. We belleve the creative process is a catalyst for personal growth and transformation as well as an agent for social change. Engaging in the creative process enriches quality of life and opens up a variety of possibilities for all members of our community
The process developed at the Open Studio Project uses art and writing as a means to engage with and understand the self, others and the world. Participants are instructed in the use of simple drawing, painting, and sculpture techniques to provide a pleasurable engagement of body, m inc!, and spirit. Images and words reveal both the uniqueness and the universality of the human condition.
Since our move from the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago to sOllth Evanston in June of
2000, we have begun to extend ourselves to the community at-large and more specifically to under-served populations who we think could most benefit from the process cleveloped at the
Open Studio Project.
We are proposing to develop a program for at-risk adolescents to foster their individual creative and emotional development while enhancing their understanding of the community around them.
Since its inception in 1992, the Open Studio Project has developed and improved a method of personal growth through the creative arts. This method has been successfully employed with individuals of all ages and with groups of people who share a common challenge in their lives.
We believe that this method offers a unique and, to date, untapped opportunities for easing the transition into adulthood for young people whom face particular obstacles. Working with a local social service agency, the Evanston Community Defender Office, we have identified a group of young people whom would particularly benefit from this experience and we seek funding to further develop the program.
If you believe, as we do, that there is a match between the Rotary Club of Evanston's goals and our own, please let us know. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
~[flcj?~V

I am Executive Director ofthe Open Studio Project, (OSP) an art and social service organization in Evanston, IL. OSP provides programming combining visual arts and writing, with a special emphasis on using the creative arts to inspire personal growth, interpersonal understanding, and social change Our main community outreach concern
IS violence prevention. We seek to help local at-risk youth turn to art in order to cultivate inner resources for dealing with difficult emotions and decisions. Experience has taught us that arts-based programming can have tremendous impact upon the lives of these young members of our community. Working with the Evanston Community Defender office, we have identified a group of young people who woule! particularly benefit from this experience.
I am writing in support of the Evanston Community Defenders
Office funding request. My staff and I are very impressed by the enthusiasm and expertise the Community Defenders Office (CDO) has demonstrated in providing services to at-risk youth. We share their commitment to helping these young people find healthy peer relations, develop awareness of feelings and appropriate expression, and building their self-image. The support and access to youth CDO has to offer would greatly enrich our ability to reach those members of Ollr community we most wish to serve.
Sincerely,

Project Description
The Open Studio Project and the Evanston Community Defender Office propose to develop a pilot project for at-risk adolescents and children to foster their individual creative and emotional development while enhill1cing their understanding of the cOJl1m\lnity around them. Since its inception in J 992, the Open Studio
Project has developed a method of personal growth through the creative arts. This method has been success fully employed with individuals of all ages and with groups of people who share a common challenge in their lives. We believe that this method offers a unique (Inc!, to elate, untapped opportunity for e(lsing the transition into adulthood for young people who face particular obstacles due to their socioeconomic situation. Working with the Evanston Community Defender office, we have identified a group of young people who would particularly benefit from this experience ,md we seek funding to develop the program.
The Open Studio Project, Inc. would provide three pilot art therapy workshops including drawing, painting, and sculpture for adolescents and children receiving counseling services at the Evanston Community
Defender Office. All of these adolescents or children are Evanston residents who have either been adjudicated delinquents or are related to one. They have been involved in domestic violence issues, had poor peer relations, and have partaken in risky behavior. Both agencies would like to pull together on-going groups at the studio to serve these youth who could particularly gain from both an art enriching as well as therapeutic experience We would like this project grant to fund 3 pilot workshops for the summer of200 I, which would hopefully be followed by on-going programs in the fall and spring. We see this ilS a valuable link between two Evanston social service agencies_
Adolescence is an important and challenging time of transition. J\s children approach adolescence, they are trying to establish independence and explore new roles. As the adolescent begins to find new roles, they carry with them the expectations from their peers, adults, and society. People in any kind of transition are more open and vulnerable. In our experience this gives them extra energy and success in creative endeavors. The creative process offers them a place to experiment with different roles and ways to communicate in their lives. For example they can make images of or write about what they hope to be or what they fear most. Artistic expression is a safe format for trying out new roles and ideas before applying them in the world at large. The process we use helps adolescents move forward by understanding their emotions more clearly along with increasing their self- concept. Adolescents will establish a vocabulary for both visual anc! verbal expression.
Both the Open Studio Project, Inc. and the Evanston Community Defender office share a commitment to helping these young people find healthy peer relations, develop awareness of feelings and appropriate expression, and building their self-image. The Open Studio Project is seeking to be the fiscal agent to try and access at-risk youth. The Evanston Community Defender Office provicies access to these youth and we both believe this can better our community.

How this Project will be Evaluated
Evaluation: We expect that participants will benefit from adding a practice in art and writing to their overall healing and wellness. Participating in the OSP process will increase self-awareness of physical, emotional, and spiritual resources inherent in each person and in the community, leading to a greater sense of autonomy in co-creating health and well being. In addition, art and writing createel by the participants will provide a valuable source of qualitative data about the impact of at-risk behavior on the lives of these individuals, their families, and the community. This data can help to inform the creation of optimal services for those who experience at-risk behavior.
Qualitative research interviews will be conducted with the participants. We are going to ask them about their experience, what they liked best, least, how they think it might be improved, and what impact this had on the teens day-to-day life experience, etc.
Project Goals: Individuals will increase self-awareness
Individuals will use creativity and empathy for anger management
Individuals will gain skills in 2-D and 3-D art making
Individuals will gain skills in creative writing
Outreach Goal: To develop on-going programs with the Evanston Community Defenders Office and Open Studio Project, and to continue hllJclraising efforts for this collaboration.

EVANSTON COMMUNITY DEFENDER OFFICE
Agency Mission: To provide legal and social work services to low income youth under 21 and their families thwugh a comn1llnity based office concerning matters in the juvenile justice/welfare systems (including school systems) and adult criminal court.
Brief Description of the Agency; The Evanston Community Defender Office has been serving the Evanston community since 1973. The agency is committed to integrating the practices of social work and the law in the service of tbe lowincome commtmity. The legal service program seeks to make a critical difference in representing low-income youth by bridging the gap in juvenile advocacy, which results from tbe traditional separation of the civil and criminal justice systems for the indigent. Therefore, tbe agency provides legal representation in criminal and related civil matters. The social work service program is primarily crisis-intervention counseling, but also includes limited group cotll1seling, to help address root causes of conflict with the law and long term client social/emotional
Issues.

WHAT IS THE KRAFT EMPLOYEE FUND?
The Kraft Employee Fund (KEF) was established in 1998, in response to our employees' desire to actively help those who are less fortunate and to become more personally involved in good works in the Chicagoland area. The Fund is a workplace giving program supported by contributions from Kraft employees and retirees across the Chicago area.
Kraft Foods North America, Inc., in showing its support to the KEF, also makes an annual financial contribution. A
Leadership Council, comprised of 25 employees and retirees representing a cross section of the Kraft family, administers the grants program. Contributions are made directly to charitable organizations in the greater Chicago area that most effectively provide needed services in the following five Focus Areas:
Child Care
Delinquency & Substance Abuse Prevention
Domestic Violence
• Hunger
Tutoring & Mentoring of At-Risk Youth
In 2000, KEF grants totaling $2,292,400 were awarded to 137 organizations in Chicago and the surrounding area. The
KEF is distinct from the Kraft Foods Corporate Contributions Program. Organizations already receiving funding from
Kraft Foods or Philip Morris Corporate Contributions are eligible for support; however, an organization may not apply for support for the same program/project.
WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMS WILL BE CONSIDERED?
KEF Grantmaking is divided into two cycles. The first cycle took place in Spring 2001 and focused on Hunger and
Domestic Violence. In this second cycle, the KEF will focus on the following critical human needs:
CHILD CARE: KEF will consider funding established organizations seeking to increase their capacity to provide low-cost child care services or to improve the quality of existing services for low-income families and their children. Low-income is defined as: 75% of the population served by the organization's program must have an income below 50% of the median for their family size (e.g., family of 4 with income of $28,861 per year or less). KEF seeks to address issues of quality, availability and affordability of child care, with a focus on the needs of low-income families. Programs to be funded include training initiatives for child care workers and helping current and former welfare recipients access child care. Efforts to increase the number of certified day care providers, including efforts by individual organizations to increase their services to a level meriting certification will also be considered. Note: The emphasis of this program area will be on increasing organizational capacity, or improving quality, not on the subsidization of slots for individual low-income children.
DELINQUENCY & SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION: Grants in this area will focus on intervention programs that provide at-risk youth with positive alternatives to gangs, violence, drugs and alcohol. KEF will consider supporting programs such as youth clubs, self-esteem workshops, after-school programs, teen peer-education and mentoring initiatives, entrepreneurial programs, and other innovative initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles and choices for youth; the program must include an explicit delinquency and substance abuse prevention educational component. KEF is most interested in supporting programs in high-risk communities, those with statistically high rates of crime and substance abuse and with historically limited financial resources.
TUTORING & MENTORING OF AT-RISK YOUTH: Organizations eligible for funding consideration include those programs that strive to develop an on-going relationship between a child and the tutor/mentor, in which the ratio between the tutor/mentor and the child is one-to-one or one to few, and that provide academic or personal guidance and support in a child's educational and vocational ende;:lVors. Organizations with the following elements will be given the highest priority:
(1) adult to child mentoring relationships; (2) peer to peer education; and (3) youth leadership development (where outstanding program participants are trained to take an active role in educating and recruiting other youth).
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT IS AVAIlABLE?
Grants will range between $5,000 and $40,000; most grants will be between $15,000-$25,000. Grants for general operating expenses will not be considered. KEF does not support capital campaigns or endowments. Multi-service organizations that apply in more than one KEF focus area should note that the maximum KEF grant amount awarded to anyone organization in a calendar year may not exceed $40,000, across all grant categories.
WHO CAN ApPLY?
Nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations with Internal Revenue Code section 501 (c)(3) status are eligible to apply if their mission or program activities fit KEF giving guidelines. The programs for which funding is requested must have been operating for at least one year in order to be funded.
, progrcv!> or its operating units (Philip Morris USA or PM,.<..o,national). Submitting an
~pplication to tr' does not preclude applying to the Kraft Corporate Contribut!.;,-;~· p,ogram. However, organizations receiving SUPPO(t from
Kraft Corporate Contributions should submit KEF funding requt~S~ only for programs that are clearly distinct from those which are being funded by Corporate Contributions.
WHAT ARE THE GRANT CRITERIA?
The KEF Council will use the following criteria to review, evaluate and approve received proposals:
• Ability and capacity of organization to create, implement and sustain high quality programs that provide direct services to persons most in need in the greater Chicago area.
• Expected impact/outcomes and how these will be measured and reported.
• Organization's track record in addressing Child Care, Substance Abuse and Delinquency Prevention and/or Tutoring and Mentoring issues in the community.
• Experience and qualifications of the organization's staff.
• Financial health of the organization and ability to provide efficient services.
• Other financial support for the proposed initiative, beyond the KEF.
• Clear descriptions of projects for which funding is being requested, and the tangible outcomes that will be achieved using KEF dollars. Proposals must clearly answer the question, "What will happen as a result of KEF funding that would otherwise not have happened?"
• General operating requests will not be considered.
