Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
2015AP366-CR State of Wisconsin v. Stanley J. Maday, Jr.
Stanley J. Maday, Jr. appeals his conviction for three counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child, in violation of WIS. STAT. § 948.02(1)(b) and (e) (2013-14), and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Maday contends that his trial counsel was ineffective. Maday argues that trial counsel performed deficiently by failing to object to testimony that he asserts was impermissible expert opinion testimony to the effect that the victim was telling the truth when the victim made a statement incriminating Maday, and that Maday was prejudiced by the expert’s impermissible testimony. Maday raises other issues that we need not address because we agree with Maday that his trial counsel was ineffective.
