99-2831-CR State v. Love

Listen to this article

Willy J. Love appeals from a judgment, entered after a jury trial, convicting him of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, second or subsequent offense, as a party to a crime, and possession of cocaine without the tax stamp, in violation of Wis. Stat. secs. 961.41(1m)(cm)4, 961.48, 939.05 and 139.89. He also appeals from an order denying him postconviction relief. Love asserts the following claims of error: (1) he was denied effective assistance of counsel because his trial lawyer did not attempt to impeach a police officer at the suppression hearing; (2) the trial court erred by excluding the testimony of Love’s accomplice, whom, he claims, would have testified that the cocaine belonged to him; and (3) his convictions for both possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and possession of cocaine without the tax stamp violate double jeopardy.

We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
