Syllabus

Murder, manifest weight, ineffective assistance of counsel, confrontation clause, mandatory consecutive sentence. Appellant's conviction for murder was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Alleged tactical errors by this trial counsel did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel because he suffered no prejudice. The trial court erred at sentencing where the record reflected that the court was operating under in the incorrect belief that it was statutorily required to order appellant's conviction for attempted failure to comply to be served consecutively to his other sentences.
