Listen to this articleCriminal Procedure – Ineffective assistance – new trials
Robert Kentrell Gant appeals the judgment entered on a jury verdict convicting him of first-degree intentional homicide. See WIS. STAT. § 940.01(1)(a). He also appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion for postconviction relief. He argues here that: (1) the trial court erred when it denied without hearing his claim that his trial lawyer gave him constitutionally deficient representation; (2) State witness Ashlee Bell’s recantation after his conviction was newly-discovered evidence; and (3) the real controversy was not tried. We affirm.
Affirmed.
