Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
2013AP1309 State of Wisconsin v. Lavell Deangelo Love
Lavell Deangelo Love appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief under WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2013-14). He asserts that, in his trial for first-degree intentional homicide, his trial counsel was ineffective for requesting a jury instruction on a lesser-included offense that the jury ultimately agreed he committed. He asserts that his postconviction counsel was ineffective in turn for failing to challenge his trial counsel’s ineffectiveness. He seeks a new trial. The circuit court denied the requested relief after conducting an evidentiary hearing. We affirm.
