WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Brian Anthony Taylor
Case No.: 2019AP1770-CR
Officials: Brash, P.J., Dugan and Donald, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Brian Anthony Taylor appeals a judgment of conviction, following a no contest plea, to one count of child enticement. On appeal, Taylor contends that the circuit court erroneously denied his presentence motion to withdraw his plea because Taylor established a fair and just reason to withdraw his plea in that the plea was rushed and entered in haste. Taylor also contends that the circuit court applied the wrong legal standard when denying his motion, that the circuit court erroneously determined that the State would be substantially prejudiced by Taylor’s plea withdrawal, and that the circuit court’s decision was not supported by the record. We affirm.
