Criminal Procedure
Plea withdrawal
Troy M. Kratz appeals from a judgment of conviction for battery causing great bodily harm as a party to a crime and as a repeat offender, and the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the circuit court erred because the State did not prove the convictions that led to the penalty enhancer for being a repeat offender. We conclude that under the totality of the circumstances the record demonstrates that Kratz understood all of the consequences of his plea. We therefore affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
