Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
Mical Thomas appeals from a judgment of conviction on two counts of first-degree reckless homicide as party to a crime and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Thomas contends the circuit court “improperly negated [his] ability to meaningfully participate” in the postconviction evidentiary hearing because it had “prejudged” Thomas’s testimony and because the court “improperly ‘cut off’” his testimony before its completion. We reject Thomas’s contentions and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion shall not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Borowski, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Rosen, Mark S., Waukesha; For Respondent: Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee; Sanders, Michael C., Madison
