Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
David Michael Murrell, pro se, appeals from an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10) postconviction motion without a hearing. Murrell alleged that postconviction counsel was ineffective for failing to bring three additional witnesses to a Machner hearing, where he was challenging the effectiveness of trial counsel. The circuit court ruled that even if the witnesses had been called, there was no reasonable probability of a different result at trial. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Hansher, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Murrell, David Michael, pro se; For Respondent: Kassel, Jeffrey J., Madison; Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee
