Overview: An enforceable settlement agreement existed between alleged injured parties and a manufacturer, which said its counsel had no authority to enter into an agreement, because the manufacturer (1) did not initially deny the settlement's validity, (2) ratified the agreement, and (3) the agreement contained all the necessary elements of a valid contract.

Overview: Ineffective assistance of counsel claim failed where, inter alia, counsel attempted to call witness who allegedly would have impeached credibility of State's key witness but could not find witness. Actual innocence claim failed as affidavit used to assert ineffective assistance could not also be used to support free-standing actual innocence claim.

|
Overview: Denial of leave to file a second postconviction petition was upheld because the inmate failed to meet the cause-and-prejudice test. Imposition of 60-year sentence consecutive to a natural life sentence was erroneous because after natural life sentence was served, inmate's life would be over and thus, inmate could not also serve 60-year sentence.
