Description
Defendant appeals his jury conviction for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He raises several issues on appeal, among them: (1) the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of counsel; and (2) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. Defendant's first issue is founded on his contention that a conflict of interest denied defendant effective assistance of counsel when trial counsel represented both defendant and defendant's brother, a co-defendant. We agree with defendant that an existing conflict of interest deprived him of his right to effective assistance of counsel under the United States Constitution Amendment VI. We thus reverse the trial court.
