The short answer is "NO". Read Illinois Supreme Court Rule 402. That having been said, there is a whole body of case law about people who claim their voluntary plea was really involuntrary. Since the area of law is not one in which I practice routinely, I am reluctant to comment on it at length.
A specialist in the area of criminal defense law should comment. Over the years, I have probably handled no more than 20 misdemeanor cases for cabdrivewrs and no felonies.
Thank You for the answer Don. I for one didn't think a court would accept an involuntary guilty plea. Usually the question of one that pleads guilty is if this is of your own free will.
