WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Shane A. Clark
Case No.: 2015AP141-CR; 2014AP142-CR
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Higginbotham and Sherman, JJ.
Focus: Pleas & Sentencing – Sentence Credit
In these consolidated appeals, Shane A. Clark challenges judgments of conviction based on negotiated pleas and orders denying his motion for postconviction relief. Clark contends that he is entitled to 320 days of sentence credit because defense counsel was ineffective for failing to take the appropriate steps to secure Clark’s right to this amount of sentence credit. Clark also contends that no factual basis exists to support two of his convictions and therefore they must be vacated. The circuit court denied Clark’s motions after a hearing. We affirm.
