Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Sentencing
Trial court properly dismissed pro se postconviction petition as frivolous and patently without merit; Defendant's prior lawful presence at murder scene would not have impacted probable cause finding, thus was not "material information" which would warrant Franks hearing, on ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Imposition of 10-year prison term consecutive to natural-life prison perms is not void, as Defendant is within class of defendants for whom Section 5-8-1-(a)(1)(b) of Unified Code of Corrections mandates consecutive sentencing. (Dissent filed.)
