WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Antonio Herrea-Ortiz

Case No.: 2017AP2277-CR

Officials: Brennan, Brash and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Jury Instructions

Antonio Herrera-Ortiz, pro se, appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of repeated sexual assault of the same child. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion. Herrera-Ortiz argues: (1) the circuit court committed plain error when it allowed the State to orally amend the information during trial; (2) the circuit court’s jury instructions constituted plain error; (3) he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel; and (4) there is a clerical error in the judgment of conviction. We affirm the judgment and order, but remand to the clerk of circuit court to correct the clerical error in the judgment of conviction.
