United States v. Andrew Jordan

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “[F]ederal prosecution was only a possibility over which the State’s Attorney had no control.... ”
• defendant’s claim of ineffectiveness failed to show that defendant would not have pleaded guilty but for counsel’s alleged incompetence
• guilty plea was voluntary despite state’s attorney’s knowing failure to advise defendant of its possible use in subsequent federal prosecution; possibility of federal prosecution was a collateral consequence of the plea
• “The enhancement provision... increases the punishment for this crime. It does not affect the punishment previously meted out to Jordan for the three robberies he committed prior to the effective date of the Act.”
