WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Damon Donte Bealin
Case No.: 2017AP1516-CR
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Kessler and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Damon Donte Bealin appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, contrary to WIS. STAT. §§ 940.02(1), 939.05, and 941.29(2) (2013-14). He also appeals from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief, which sought a new trial on grounds of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Bealin argues that he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his postconviction motion. We disagree and affirm the judgment and order.
