WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Dante L. Davis
Case No.: 2016AP1721-CR
Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
A jury convicted Dante Davis of two counts of strangulation and suffocation (domestic abuse), two counts of disorderly conduct (domestic abuse), felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of tetrahydrocannabinols. Davis appeals from the judgment of conviction and from the order denying his postconviction motion seeking a new trial due to the erroneous admission of other acts evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel. We agree with the circuit court that Davis’s postconviction motion did not warrant a hearing. We affirm.
