WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Corey Benson

Case No.: 2016AP1621-CR; 2016AP1622-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Corey Benson, pro se, appeals from judgments, entered upon a jury’s verdicts, convicting him on one count of child abuse, one count of child neglect, one count of first-degree intentional homicide, and two counts of felony bail jumping. Benson also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. Benson complains that the two underlying circuit court cases were improperly joined and that he received ineffective assistance from trial counsel. We reject Benson’s challenges and affirm the judgments and order.
