JUSTICE MURRAY, concurring in part and dissenting in part: Although I agree with the majority’s result based on the existing law, I am of the opinion we should defer deciding the case until the Illinois Supreme Court decides People v. Porter (1st Dist. October 9, 1993), No. 1 — 92—1388, appeal allowed (1993), 148 Ill. 2d 650. The Porter case involves double jeopardy and its application to a previous acquittal by a Federal court. A decision by the supreme court in that case could determine the eventual outcome of this appeal. Correa is not incarcerated so that no one is injured by the delay. The statement in the majority opinion “haste makes waste” may well apply to this court as it does to the trial court’s rapid acceptance of Correa’s plea.
