Court properly required Defendant to be shackled during evidentiary hearing, as record showed Defendant's prior courtroom disruption, court court considered all relevant circumstances. Defendant failed to make substantial showing of ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim based on counsel's failure to file a motion to suppress. Decision on filing motion to suppress entitled to great deference as it is a matter of trial strategy. (APPLETON and HARRIS, concurring.)
