Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
2013AP1649 State of Wisconsin V. Willie Adams
Appellant Adams contends that he received ineffective assistance of postconviction counsel during his direct appeal because his lawyer did not argue that his trial lawyers provided constitutionally ineffective representation to him by: (1) failing to call Barbara Benedetto as a defense witness; (2) failing to call Andre Taylor as a defense witness; (3) failing to challenge for cause or peremptorily strike two jurors; and (4) failing to impeach Hnanicek with partially inconsistent prior statements. We affirm.
Decision
Affirmed. Per Curiam.
