Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Operative concern, in postplea claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, is whether court properly inquired into underlying factual allegations of claim, but court is not required to expressly state that it is making such inquiry. New counsel is not automatically required because Defendant presents a pro se posttrial claim that his counsel was ineffective. (HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
