People v. Snow

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of three counts of first degree murder. In his postconviction petition, Defendant failed to present any newly-discovered evidence. Witness affidavits indicate that information was available at trial. Thus, court properly dismissed Defendant's actual-innocence claim. Claims of ineffective assistance of counsel were already ruled upon by court and thus barred by res judicata. No Brady violations established; Defendant failed to allege how State's coaching of witness alone undermines confidence in trial outcome. (APPLETON and KNECHT, concurring.)
