Case No.: 2020AP84-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Postconviction Motion Denied – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Justin Douglas appeals a judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdict, convicting him of two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child; four counts of sexual exploitation of a child; two counts of possession of child pornography; and eight counts of felony bail jumping, with all sixteen counts as a habitual criminal. Douglas also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Douglas argues that his trial counsel was ineffective in pursuing a motion to suppress evidence obtained from a cell phone. We reject Douglas’s arguments and affirm the judgment and order.
