WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jackie Holloway, II

Case No.: 2019AP2218-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Jackie Holloway, II appeals his judgment of conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon, as well as the order denying his postconviction motion. Holloway argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel failed to introduce evidence that would serve to impeach witnesses to a shooting. After a Machner hearing, the postconviction court ruled that Holloway’s trial counsel did not perform deficiently and thus rejected Holloway’s claim; the court did not address the prejudice prong of the ineffective assistance of counsel analysis.
