Syllabus

Where the defendant stabbed an unarmed woman during a fight in her workplace, her conviction for felonious assault was sufficiently supported and not against the manifest weight of the evidence, the trial judge did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on non-deadly force self-defense, and her trial attorney was not ineffective where, consistent with the defendant's wish not to be convicted of any non-sealable felony, he declined to seek an instruction on the inferior-degree offense of aggravated assault.
