158 Ill.Dec. 277

The PEOPLE of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Vida NOLAN, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Third Division.

May 15, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Randolph N. Stone, Public Defender of Cook County, Chicago; John T. Kennedy and Donald S. Honchell, of counsel, for defendant-appellant.

Jack O'Malley, State's Atty. of Cook County, Chicago; Renee Goldfarb and James S. Veldman, of counsel, for plaintiff-appellee.

Presiding Justice CERDA, delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant, Vida Nolan, was convicted after a jury trial of murder (Ill.Rev.Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 9-1(a)(2)) and was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. Defendant argues on appeal that it was error not to instruct the jury on voluntary manslaughter (Ill.Rev.Stat.1985, ch. 38, par. 9-2(b)) and self-defense (Ill.Rev.Stat.1985, ch. 38, par. 7-1) and that defendant's trial counsel was ineffective.
