WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. James M. Kruger
Case No.: 2017AP415-CR
Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Sherman and Fitzpatrick, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
James Kruger appeals a judgment of conviction for armed robbery, strangulation and suffocation, and false imprisonment, all as a repeater. Kruger argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion when it denied his motion to withdraw his no contest pleas. Because Kruger did not satisfy his burden of establishing a fair and just reason for plea withdrawal, we affirm.
