Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
A jury found Carrie L. Metz guilty of criminal neglect of a child, resulting in death, in violation of Wis. Stat. § 948.21(1) (2009-10). We disagree with Metz that the prosecution was duplicitous, that she was denied a unanimous verdict, that her lawyer was ineffective or that the trial court erred in denying her postconviction motion without first holding a Machner hearing. We affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
