WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Rico R. Hill
Case No.: 2015AP1215-CR
Officials: Brennan and Brash, JJ., and Daniel L. LaRocque, Reserve Judge
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Rico R. Hill appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of battery and one count of strangulation and suffocation. He also appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Hill argues that he received constitutionally ineffective assistance from his counsel because his lawyer did not call an alibi witness to testify on his behalf at trial. We affirm.
