Listen to this article

Keith S. Betts appeals from the judgment of conviction entered after a jury convicted him of armed robbery.

Betts also appeals from the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Betts claims: (1) a Machner hearing is required to determine whether his trial counsel was ineffective; and (2) the trial court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion by (a) relying on inaccurate information, (b) failing to adequately explain its deviation from the sentencing guidelines as required by Wis. Stat. sec. 973.012 (1987-88), and (c) imposing an unduly harsh sentence. Thus, Betts concludes that the trial court erred in denying his postconviction motion.

We disagree and affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
