Criminal Procedure – ineffective assistance

APPEAL from a judgment and an order of the circuit court for Walworth County: DAVID M. REDDY, Judge. Affirmed.

Chris E. DeMint was charged as a repeater with two counts of repeated sexual assault of the same child, the granddaughters of his girlfriend, in violation of Wis. Stat. § 948.025(1)(b).[1] In a two-phase trial, a jury found him guilty and rejected his plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (NGI). DeMint contends that defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance during the NGI phase. We disagree and affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying his postconviction motion seeking a new trial.

PER CURIAM.
