Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. Where a defendant fails to raise a pro se posttrial claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, court need not and should not conduct a Krankel hearing. A trial court may discuss the impact a drug offense has on the community without subjecting the defendant to double enhancement. (APPLETON and KNECHT, concurring.)
