Criminal Procedure — new trials — newly-discovered evidence — recantations

Landris T. Jines appeals the orders denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion for postconviction relief and motion for reconsideration, arguing that newly-discovered evidence requires a new trial, nine years after a jury convicted him of attempted first-degree intentional homicide while armed and possession of a firearm by a felon, both as a party to the crime and both as an habitual offender. Jines contends that the circuit court erred when it denied, without a hearing, his motions for a new trial based on two recantations from trial witnesses. We affirm. Publication in the official reports is not recommended.
