United States Seventh Circuit

A decision on the merits of an ineffective assistance claim was proper, finding that medical evidence at issue was ambiguous to a defense, and the finding was not premature prior to discovery; waiver of the right to jury trial for sentencing was valid, where a judge's misstatement as to eligibility determination did not affect the knowing waiver.
