WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Joshua A. Malueg
Case No.: 2017AP1449-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Joshua Malueg appeals a judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdict, convicting him of one count of incest with a child by a stepparent. He also appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Malueg contends that: (1) his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by not attempting to introduce evidence regarding an allegedly false prior sexual assault allegation made by the victim; and (2) he is entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice. We reject his arguments and affirm.
