Description
In February, 1969, defendants Gary Blair and Jimmy Duncil, after waiving counsel and indictment, pleaded guilty in the circuit court of Perry County to charges of burglary, possession of burglary tools, theft and criminal damage to property. Each defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for concurrent terms of two to four years for the offense of burglary, one and one-half to two years for possession of burglary tools, one year for the offense of theft and six months for the charge of criminal damage to property. In December, 1969, the defendants, represented by counsel, filed a motion to vacate the judgments in the burglary and possession-of-burglary-tools cases. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 110, par. 72.) Pursuant to that motion the circuit court vacated the judgment of conviction as to those two offenses, finding that the car wash structure here involved was not a building, as that word is used in the burglary statute (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 38, par. 19-1). The appellate court reversed (People v. Blair (1971), 1 Ill. App.3d 6) and we granted leave to appeal.
