WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Kyle James King

Case No.: 2015AP873-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Asisstance of Counsel

Kyle James King appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered upon his guilty plea, on one count of robbery with the use of force. King also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. King alleges that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate a third-party-perpetrator defense, and he would not have entered his guilty plea but for counsel’s ineffectiveness. We conclude the circuit court properly denied the motion, so we affirm the judgment and order.
