Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Emanuel D. Johnson, pro se, who was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime in 1995, appeals from an order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009–10) motion for postconviction relief without a hearing. He argues that his trial lawyer gave him constitutionally deficient representation when he withdrew Johnson’s request that the lesser-included offense of felony murder be submitted to the jury. We reject Johnson’s argument and affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
