Syllabus

Murder; felonious assault; sufficiency; manifest weight; ineffective assistance of counsel; cumulative error. Appellant's convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where eyewitnesses testified that they observed appellant shoot and kill the victim. Appellant failed to establish a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel. The cumulative-error doctrine was inapplicable where appellant failed to demonstrate the existence of any error.
