Listen to this article

Criminal Procedure
Plea withdrawal; ineffective assistance

Morris L. Harris appeals a judgment of conviction for substantial battery, see Wis. Stat. § 940.19(2) (2007-2008), and from the subsequent order denying his postconviction motion. Harris argues that: (1) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when denying his motion to withdraw his plea; (2) the trial court conducted an improper, prejudicial preliminary hearing; (3) the trial court erroneously determined that the State’s withholding of certain evidence did not constitute grounds for withdrawal of his plea; (4) his counsel was ineffective; and (5) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion at sentencing. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
