Criminal Procedure — new trials — newly discovered evidence — ineffective assistance

Twana A. Burris appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of attempted bribery of a witness, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 946.61(1)(a) and 939.32 (2011–12). She also appeals from an order denying her postconviction motion for relief. She argues that she is entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, her lawyer’s constitutionally deficient performance, and in the interest of justice. She also argues that she should be released on bond pending the outcome of this appeal. We reject her arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
