Criminal Procedure
Self-defense; ineffective assistance

Johnathan Hyde appeals a judgment convicting him of aggravated battery by use of a dangerous weapon. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Hyde claims that: (1) the circuit court erred in refusing to give the jury a self-defense instruction; (2) trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to secure the presence of an out-of-state witness; and (3) the circuit court should have granted Hyde’s motion to discharge counsel mid-trial. For the reasons discussed below, we reject each of these contentions and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
