01/10/2008 DISP-DENIED   For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the circuit court's denial of Williams' rule 3.851 motion as to the guilt phase issues and deny relief as to his habeas petition. However, we reverse the trial court's ruling on the claim of ineffectiveness at the penalty phase, and we remand with directions that defendant's sentences be reduced to life. Nothing in this decision should be construed to prohibit the trial court from considering the imposition of consecutive sentences for the various crimes and convictions involved.
