Criminal Procedure — new trials — newly discovered evidence

Daniel Bolstad, pro se, appeals from an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10) motion for postconviction relief. Bolstad argues that he is entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence and that the absence at trial of a recently located witness violated his right to a fair trial. Bolstad further contends a new trial is warranted based on the cumulative effect of the newly discovered evidence and the affidavit of the recently located witness. Finally, Bolstad claims the circuit court erred by denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. We reject these arguments and affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
