WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Samterious Gordon

Case No.: 2018AP1772-CR

Officials: Kessler, Dugan and Fitzpatrick, JJ.

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Samterious Gordon appeals a judgment of conviction for one count each of first-degree reckless injury with use of a dangerous weapon, first-degree recklessly endangering safety with use of a dangerous weapon, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Gordon also appeals an order of the circuit court denying his motion for postconviction relief. Gordon argues that he is entitled to a new trial because he was denied his right to a fair trial and because Gordon’s trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the judgment of conviction and the order of the circuit court.
