By: Derek Hawkins//January 17, 2017//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Paul A. Adams
Case No.: 2015AP2163-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Hagedorn, J.
Focus: Sentence – OWI 7th
Paul A. Adams pleaded no contest to seventh offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) in hopes that his sentence would be ordered concurrent to the sentence he was serving upon revocation of his extended supervision from his sixth OWI conviction. When the court imposed a consecutive sentence, Adams filed a Bangert and Bentley motion to withdraw his plea. He alleged that his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered because the court did not advise him, or ascertain his understanding, of both elements of the offense and because his counsel ineffectively failed to do likewise. The court denied the motion after a hearing. We affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying Adams’ postconviction motion.
