Criminal Procedure
Self-representation; ineffective assistance; speedy trials; prosecutorial misconduct; double jeopardy
A jury convicted Jeffrey Edward Olson of three counts of second-degree sexual assault of two family members when the victims were minors. Olson appeals pro se from the judgment of conviction and from the order denying his motions for postconviction relief after hearing held pursuant to State v. Machner, 92 Wis. 2d 797, 285 N.W.2d 905 (Ct. App. 1979). He asserts: (1) he was deprived of his right to represent himself at trial; (2) the State’s use of other-acts evidence violated his constitutional right not to be placed in double jeopardy; (3) the State violated his statutory and/or constitutional right to a speedy trial; (4) the assistant district attorney (ADA) engaged in prosecutorial misconduct; and (5) trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. We reject his arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
