Sentencing
Due process; accurate information

Robert Joseph Grant appeals from a judgment of conviction entered upon his guilty plea to second-degree reckless homicide. See Wis. Stat. § 940.06(1). He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion for resentencing. He contends that his twenty-year term of imprisonment reflects the circuit court’s reliance on a mistake of fact, namely, that he sought to minimize his culpability for the victim’s death when he described his conduct as an accident. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
