WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Ronnell Farr
Case No.: 2015AP1901
Officials: Neubauer, Reilly, Gundrum
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
A jury found Ronnell Farr guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting of Michael Bender outside of a bar called Quarters. Farr did not dispute that he shot Bender but claimed it was not intentional. This court affirmed the judgment of conviction and the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. See State v. Farr, No. 2013AP504-CR, unpublished slip op. (WI App Feb. 18, 2014) (Farr I). Farr’s pro se WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2013-14)1 motion for postconviction relief that underlies this appeal was denied without a hearing. Farr seeks either a hearing on his claims of ineffective assistance of trial and postconviction counsel or a new trial. We affirm the order.
