People v. Wright

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of first degree murder and of personally discharging firearm that caused victim's death, and sentenced to 75 years. Nothing in record indicates that State knew that witness' testimony as to his plea agreement in an unrelated federal case was false, and no reasonable likelihood that false testimony affected the verdict. No ineffective assistance of counsel by defense counsel failing to question witness about it, as it was defense counsel's trial strategy to not get into details of witness' federal case. No deprivation of right to testify as to alibi, as Defendant failed to comply with Rule 413(d) in not disclosing alibi defense. (HOWSE and TAYLOR, concurring.)
