Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Bryant Taylor Ellis
Case No.: 2020AP115-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Plea Colloquy
Bryant Ellis challenges the denial of his postsentencing motion for plea withdrawal. Ellis claims: (1) the circuit court failed to conduct an adequate plea colloquy; (2) his plea was not knowing, intelligent and voluntary; and (3) his trial attorneys were ineffective for not investigating and advising him about a potential presentencing motion for plea withdrawal based on his presentencing psychological evaluation. We reject Ellis’s arguments and affirm.
