Pleas & Sentencing – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

2014AP1833-CR State of Wisconsin v. Michael D. Dean

Michael Dean appeals an order denying his motion to withdraw a guilty plea due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Dean argues his counsel was ineffective for failing to advise him of a potential plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (NGI), based on Dean’s purported memory loss. We reject Dean’s argument and affirm.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam.
