Motion for Resentencing – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

2014AP1760-CR State of Wisconsin v. Turnell Q. Lewkowski

Appellant Turnell Q. Lewkowski appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of armed robbery with threat of force. He also appeals the circuit court’s order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. Lewkowski argues that: (1) the circuit court should have held an evidentiary hearing on his motion for resentencing; and (2) he received ineffective assistance from his trial lawyer during the sentencing hearing. We affirm.
