WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Darwin R. Davis

Case No.: 2018AP4-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Darwin Davis appeals from a judgment convicting him of four counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Davis raises multiple claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and due process violations. We conclude that Davis has failed to demonstrate prejudice on any of the ineffective assistance of counsel claims, and that each of the due process claims was either forfeited or lacks merit. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and the order of the circuit court.
