01-0843 State v. Lo

Listen to this article

Following a trial and a direct appeal of his convictions for attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety, Anou Lo filed a postconviction motion seeking a new trial on numerous grounds. The circuit court denied the motion in all respects without conducting an evidentiary hearing. As to each issue raised on this appeal, we reach one of three conclusions: (1) that Lo is barred from raising the issue in a postconviction motion, (2) that he has failed to allege sufficient facts in his motion to raise a question of fact or (3) that the record conclusively demonstrates that he is not entitled to relief.

Accordingly, we affirm the circuit court’s order denying Lo’s postconviction motion. We further conclude that a new trial in the interests of justice is not warranted.
