WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. DeCarlos K. Chambers
Case No.: 2019AP411-CR
Officials: Brash, P.J., Dugan and Donald, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Decarlos K. Chambers appeals a judgment convicting him after a jury trial of second-degree reckless homicide with a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a person previously adjudicated delinquent of a felony. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion. Chambers argues that he should be granted a new trial because his trial counsel impermissibly conceded his guilt to the jury during the closing argument without his consent. We affirm.
