Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
Jimmie Knight appeals a judgment of conviction for arson and criminal damage to property and an order denying his postconviction motion. Knight claims he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Specifically, Knight asserts trial counsel was deficient for failing to pursue an alibi defense, adequately advise Knight on his decision not to testify, and object to the amount ordered for restitution.
Knight also claims the circuit court imposed a harsh and excessive sentence and erred in setting the amount of restitution. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
