Description

After a bench trial, defendant Ulysses Gloster was convicted of attempt murder and was sentenced to a term of 4 to 12 years' imprisonment. The conviction was affirmed (People v. Gloster (1976), 42 Ill. App.3d 1074) by order under Supreme Court Rule 23 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 110A, par. 23). Defendant then filed a pro se post-conviction petition (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 122-1 et seq.) and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis and for appointment of counsel. A public defender was appointed as his counsel. The public defender withdrew at defendant's request, and a private attorney was appointed to represent him. An amended post-conviction petition was filed. The trial court dismissed the amended petition. Defendant appeals. At trial, the evidence established that three police officers entered a tavern in response to a radio call. When they entered the tavern they saw defendant holding a shotgun pointed in their direction. Defendant threatened to shoot if the officers took another step. As the officers retreated out of the tavern, one officer stated he heard the sound of a firing pin strike the shell, and another officer stated he heard a click. Several minutes later defendant surrendered himself unarmed to the police.
