2010AP947-CR State v. Madsen

Listen to this article

Criminal Procedure
Right to testify; venue; ineffective assistance

Kevin Madsen appeals a judgment of conviction for child enticement, soliciting a child for prostitution, and two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child. Madsen also appeals an order denying his postconviction motions. Madsen argues: the jury instructions for the sexual assault charges violated various constitutional rights because they did not specify the dates of the alleged assaults; he was wrongfully denied his right to testify; the circuit court erroneously denied his change of venue motion; the circuit court erroneously admitted prior bad acts evidence; and his counsel was ineffective for numerous reasons. We reject Madsen’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
