WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Sakajust K. Scott
Case No.: 2015AP1154-CR
Officials: Curley, P.J., Brennan and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Sakajust K. Scott appeals a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of first-degree intentional homicide while using a dangerous weapon. He also appeals an order denying postconviction relief. He claims his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to seek suppression of his custodial statement on the ground that he invoked his right to counsel at the time of his arrest. The trial court rejected his claim without a hearing, and we affirm.
