WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Zachary Seth Williams
Case No.: 2017AP2203-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Zachary Williams appeals from a judgment convicting him of armed robbery as party to a crime and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Williams contends he should be allowed to withdraw his no-contest plea because the circuit court failed to advise him: (1) he would be required to pay a DNA surcharge; (2) he had a right to a unanimous jury verdict; and (3) about the effect of read-in charges. Williams also challenges the procedure used to enter a restitution award against him.
