Pleas and Sentencing – Motion to Withdraw
2014AP1937 State of Wisconsin v. Darryl Wayne Pruett
Darryl Pruett appeals an order denying his WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2013-14) motion to withdraw his guilty pleas to sexual assault of a child and repeated sexual assault of the same child.2 He argues: (1) the circuit court judge should have recused himself because of bias; (2) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to present a defense of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (NGI); and (3) Pruett established sufficient reason to allow him to raise the ineffective assistance of counsel claim despite the procedural bar set forth in State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 181-82, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994). We reject these arguments and affirm the order.
Holding
Affirmed. Per Curiam.
