Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Warren Jamaal Wells, pro se, appeals an order denying his postconviction motion, filed under Wis. Stat. § 974.06, seeking relief from his conviction for first-degree intentional homicide while armed and as a party to a crime. He claims that the State improperly charged him as a party to a crime without also charging and prosecuting a co-actor, and that the two lawyers who represented him at trial were ineffective for failing to investigate, to present certain witnesses, and to make appropriate motions. He alleges that his postconviction lawyer was ineffective for failing to raise these claims. We reject his arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
