WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Kevin Pittman, Jr.,

Case No.: 2018AP2125-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Kevin Pittman, Jr., appeals a judgment convicting him, following a jury trial, of felony murder as a party to a crime and possession of a firearm by a felon. See WIS. STAT. §§ 940.03, 939.05, 941.29(2)(a) (2011- 12). He also appeals the circuit court’s order denying his postconviction motion. Pittman argues that he is entitled to a new trial because trial counsel was ineffective and because he has newly discovered evidence. We reject each argument that Pittman makes on appeal and, accordingly, affirm the judgment and order.
