People v. Perkins 

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of attempt aggravated criminal sexual abuse of six-year-old girl. Court did not find Defendant's version of events credible, found that Defendant had no explanation for why he was naked when found by victim's mother with victim, and found that Defendant had taken a substantial step toward commission of offense, based on vicim's mother's testimony, which court found highly credible. No ineffective assistance of counsel established, as Defendant cannot show that answers to cross-examination he asserts should have been done would have aided his case. No per se conflict of interest in defense counsel arguing, on appeal, his own ineffectiveness at trial. (NEVILLE and MURPHY, concurring.)
