The Court declined to admit additional evidence and dismissed the appeals because the trial judge's fitness-to-stand-trial finding was properly reached on the evidence, no communication assistance was required, trial counsel's tactical choices not to call the four witnesses were reasonable and would not have raised a real risk of miscarriage, and the sentence was within an appropriate range.
