Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm as to other victim, and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Evidence was sufficient to support guilty verdict; jury found witness more credible than Defendant and two other witnesses. Defendant was erroneously impeached with his juvenile adjudication, but Defendant was impeached as to other matters, thus erroneous impeachment was cumulative of overall impeachment of defense witnesses. (McBRIDE, concurring; R. GORDON, dissenting.)
