2010AP399-CR State v. Miller

Listen to this article

Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance

Michael Mario Miller, Jr., appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of first-degree intentional homicide while armed with a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime. He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Miller contends that trial counsel was ineffective because she failed to challenge the admissibility of a statement Miller made to police after an allegedly illegal search led to his arrest and because she failed to present Miller’s testimony at the pretrial Miranda-Goodchild hearing. We agree with the trial court that trial counsel was not ineffective and, therefore, we affirm.  This opinion will not be published.
