Criminal Procedure — Confrontation Clause

Michael Alexander, pro se, appeals an order denying postconviction relief under Wis. Stat. § 974.06. Alexander argues that the admission into evidence of recorded statements of two witnesses violated his right of confrontation; the trial transcript was inadequate, thereby resulting in the loss of the opportunity to appeal; and trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to a portion of the State’s closing argument. We reject his arguments, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
