Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Joiner

May 23, 20242024 IL 129784

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the summary dismissal of Antuan Joiner's postconviction petition. It held that the petition was filed and docketed on August 4, 2021, so the circuit court ruled within the mandatory 90-day period, and that the petition did not state an arguable ineffective-assistance claim because the proposed witnesses' testimony would not arguably have changed the trial's outcome.
