		<description><![CDATA[Regarding Illinois DUI cases, one of the benefits of judicial supervision is that it prevents people from being convicted of DUI. As a matter of law, a person on supervision for an offense has not been convicted of the offense. But, this doesn&#8217;t mean that the DUI disappears in any way. A person should not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ecilcrime.com&blog=3248230&post=1609&subd=ecilcrime&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
