WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Demone Alexander

Case No.: 2014AP2774

Officials: Curley, P.J., Kessler and Brennan, JJ.

Practice Area: Ineffective Assistance – Newly Discovered Evidence

Demone Alexander appeals from a trial court order denying his postconviction motion, which had sought: (1) a Machner hearing on Alexander’s allegations that his postconviction counsel and trial counsel provided ineffective assistance; or (2) a new trial based on newly discovered evidence.

We reject Alexander’s arguments and affirm the order.
