Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Chester J. Mass
Case No.: 2018AP1665-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Davis, J.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Chester J. Mass appeals from a judgment convicting him of first-degree intentional homicide, and an order denying his postconviction motion seeking a new trial on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. Mass maintains that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to retain an expert to counter the medical examiner’s trial testimony. Because we conclude that trial counsel did not perform deficiently, we affirm.
