WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Lucious Emmit Mason

Case No.: 2018AP2136-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Lucious Emmit Mason appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of armed robbery with use of force, one count of false imprisonment while using a dangerous weapon, and one count of substantial battery while using a dangerous weapon. See WIS. STAT. §§ 943.32(2), 939.63(1)(b), 940.30, and 940.19(2) (2015-16). Mason also appeals from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Mason argues that he is entitled to a new trial because trial counsel provided ineffective assistance in four ways. We reject his arguments and affirm the judgment and order.
