Criminal Court
Postconviction Petitions
Defendant, age 24 at time of offenses, was convicted, after jury trial, of 1st degree murders of shopkeeper and his 15-year-old employee, and was sentenced to concurrent sentences of natural life imprisonment. Psychiatrist diagnosed Defendant with a personality disorder and was "aware of and inconsiderate of the feelings of others" when he was nearly 27 , and attributed his actions to that disorder, which militates against attributing his fatal action to transient immaturity. Defendant did not show requisite prejudice for filing a successive postconviction petition. (CUNNINGHAM and CONNORS, concurring.)
