WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Marcus Demond Anderson, Sr.,
Case No.: 2018AP2016-CR
Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Evidentiary Hearing
Marcus Demond Anderson, Sr. appeals a judgment of conviction, following guilty pleas, to two counts of delivering heroin. Anderson also appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Anderson argues that statements made at his sentencing hearing constituted an implicit request for new counsel and the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in failing to inquire about Anderson’s concerns. We agree and therefore reverse the circuit court’s postconviction order denying Anderson’s motion and remand the matter for a retrospective evidentiary hearing.
