WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Justin W. Van Dera
Case No.: 2016AP1596-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
A jury convicted Justin Van Dera of homicide by negligent use of a motor vehicle, operating after revocation, second-degree recklessly endangering safety, obstructing an officer, and three counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. The circuit court denied Van Dera’s postconviction motion alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. On appeal, Van Dera contends that his trial counsel was ineffective and the evidence was not sufficient to convict him of bail jumping. We disagree and affirm.
