MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
MORAN, Senior District Judge.
Petitioner Alfredo Gonzalez (Gonzalez) was convicted by a jury in an Illinois state court of the murders of Kevin and Torrence Wiley and sentenced to life in prison. He has filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Gonzalez contends that his conviction was improper because he was denied due process of law and effective assistance of counsel at trial. The state responds that Gonzalez’s petition is insufficient on the merits to warrant habeas relief. For the reasons set forth below, the petition is denied.
