Criminal Procedure — juror bias

Edward Wolfe appeals a judgment of conviction for two counts of sexual intercourse with a child over 16 and one count of repeated sexual assault of the same child. He also appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Wolfe argues his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to move to strike a juror who was objectively biased. We agree with the circuit court that the juror was not objectively biased, and therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
