JUSTICE SIMON, dissenting:
I dissent here because the defendant's appointed counsel had also previously represented one of the State's important witnesses in a different case. Although the representation of the defendant and the witness may not have overlapped in time (the record is not clear on this point), the witness' prior involvement with the law could and should have been used to impeach him. For that reason I think we should allow the defendant's petition for leave to appeal in order to decide whether his attorney had either a per se or actual conflict of interest.
