Syllabus

EVIDENCE - SUFFICIENCY - MANIFEST WEIGHT - COMPLICITY - INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL: Convictions for offenses involving a shooting death and felonious assault of another were supported by sufficient evidence and are not against the manifest weight of the evidence where defendant's identity as a principal offender or an aider and abettor in the offenses was established by video evidence and witness testimony. Because the state satisfied its burden in disproving, beyond a reasonable doubt, any claim of self-defense in this case, defendant cannot establish the prejudice required to support his ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Judgment affirmed.
