Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance
David L. Lowe appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered on his guilty pleas, for two counts of repeated sexual assault of the same child, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 948.025(1) (2003-04 and 2005-06). Lowe also appeals from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Lowe argues that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance at sentencing when he asked the trial court to follow the State’s sentencing recommendation rather than arguing for a lesser sentence. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
