WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Zachary J. Froehlich

Case No.: 2017AP708-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Plea & Sentencing – Plea Withdrawal

Zachary Froehlich appeals a judgment, entered upon his no-contest plea, convicting him of party to the crime of first-degree reckless homicide. Froehlich also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for resentencing or, alternatively, plea withdrawal. Froehlich argues he is entitled to relief because the State breached the plea agreement. We conclude that even if there was a breach (a matter we do not decide), the breach was merely technical and, therefore, did not warrant relief. We therefore affirm the judgment and order.
