People v. Hunt

Defendant appealed from a trial court order dismissing his amended petition under the Post-Conviction Hearing Act, claiming that he did not receive reasonable assistance from counsel in post-conviction proceedings because counsel did not attach an affidavit to the amended petition to support defendant’s claim. The appellate court affirmed, finding that post-conviction counsel otherwise performed their duties and provided reasonable assistance. (McLAREN and BIRKETT, concurring)
