WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Larry Reed, Jr.,

Case No.: 2018AP1597-CR

Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Brennan, JJ.

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Larry Reed, Jr., appeals from a judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdicts, convicting him on one count of arson and one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. Reed also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. Reed contends that trial counsel was ineffective in three ways. We conclude Reed has failed to sufficiently demonstrate ineffective assistance, so we affirm the order. We note two minor scrivener’s errors in the judgment, however, so we order those corrected, but, upon that modification, the judgment is also affirmed.
