Pleas & Sentencing – Plea Withdrawal

2014AP1975-CR State of Wisconsin v. Jeffrey S. Marisch

Appellant Jeffrey S. Marisch appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his no-contest pleas to two counts of felony attempted intimidation of a victim and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. The issue is whether he should be allowed to withdraw his pleas to correct a manifest injustice. We reject his contentions that the pleas are without an adequate factual basis and that his counsel’s inaccurate advice caused him to misunderstand the charges’ intent element. We affirm the judgment and order.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam.
