People v. Bomar, Jr. 

Defendant was charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, on basis of which State filed petition to revoke Defendant's probation. State filed additional charges for aggrav ated discharge of a firearm and attempted first degree murder, and was convicted of all these offenses after jury trial. Court properly found that Defendant violated his probation; State must prove probation violation by preponderance of evidence, and jury found Defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Court failed to conduct a proper inquiry into Defendant's pro se allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel as "conflict of interest issues", and thus remand for preliminary investigation of claims is required. (CARTER, concurring; McDADE, concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
