WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Harland C.H. Swenson, Jr.,
Case No.: 2018AP980-CR
Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard and Kloppenburg, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Harland Swenson appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. The issue on appeal is whether his trial counsel was ineffective by not objecting to jury instructions that Swenson asserts failed to protect his right to a unanimous jury. We conclude that the law was not settled on this point, and therefore counsel’s performance was not deficient. We affirm.
