WI Court of Appeals: District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Latasha K. Gatlin
Case No.: 2014AP2351-CR; 2014AP2352-CR
Officials: Lundsten, Higginbotham and Blanchard, JJ
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Latasha Gatlin was tried before a jury and was convicted of six counts of physical child abuse. Her appeal raises several claims of ineffective assistance relating to her trial, and she argues that, post-trial, the circuit court improperly denied her relief based on prosecutor misconduct and newly discovered evidence. We reject all of Gatlin’s arguments, and affirm.
