WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Richard Daniel Benson
Case No.: 2016AP211-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Richard Benson appeals his convictions on six felony charges entered on a jury verdict, as well as a circuit court order denying his postconviction motions. Benson claims his trial counsel rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance and contends the circuit court erred when it denied his Batson challenge to the State’s peremptory strike of one juror. We reject Benson’s arguments and affirm.
