Postconviction Petitions
Statement by claimed alibi witness, attached to postconviction petition, was not notarized and lacked obligation of oath, as it contained no notary clause affirming that witness swore to statement in notary's presence. Thus, statement was not an affidavit, and court properly summarily dismissed petition which was required to be supported by section 122-2 affidavit. (POPE and HARRIS, concurring.)
