By: Derek Hawkins//June 22, 2021//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Spencer Parks, Jr.,
Case No.: 2020AP441-CR
Officials: Blanchard, Kloppenburg, and Nashold, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Spencer Parks appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion. The issues are whether his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to investigate and call a potential witness, and whether the real controversy was fully tried. We conclude that counsel was not ineffective and that the issues were fully tried. Therefore, we affirm.
