Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Julius C. Burton appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered upon his guilty pleas, on two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon. Burton also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. Burton claims that he received ineffective assistance from trial counsel regarding the availability of a bifurcated plea and trial on his mental culpability, and that the circuit court erred by not advising him of such possibility during the plea colloquy. We reject Burton’s arguments and affirm. This opinion shall not be published.
