Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal Opinion
Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance
Edward Alex Meade appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered upon a jury’s verdicts, on three counts: second-degree sexual assault with the use of force, second-degree sexual assault causing injury, and second-degree reckless injury. Meade also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion, which sought a new trial based on alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel. He argues that the trial court erred in denying that motion without a hearing. We reject Meade’s argument and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
