1. ““[W]e note that the indictment’s failure to list the locations and dates of the prior DUI offenses did not impair the defendant’s preparation of his defense since the elements of a Class 4 felony DUI are the same as a Class A misdemeanor DUI. [Citation.] Here, the prior offenses are not elements of a DUI charge and are used solely for sentencing purposes after the defendant is found guilty of DUI. As such, since the prior DUI offenses were irrelevant to his trial preparation, the defendant cannot claim he was prejudiced by the State’s failure to include detailed information in the indictment regarding the prior convictions.” Lambert, 249 Ill. App. 3d at 728 .”
