WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jose A. Adames
Case No.: 2015AP2410-CR
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Kessler and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Jose A. Adames appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of first-degree sexual assault, one count of false imprisonment, and two counts of armed robbery, all as a party to a crime. He also appeals the circuit court’s order denying his postconviction motion. Adames argues that he
received ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial lawyer failed to object to testimony from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) who treated B.G.-T., one of the victims, and failed to object to police testimony about heroin found in the home of Julio Quiles-Guzman, one of his co-defendants. Adames also argues that the circuit court erred in denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. We affirm.
