By: Derek Hawkins//August 31, 2021//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jeromy M. Mathews
Case No.: 2019AP2319-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Jeromy Mathews appeals a judgment of conviction for repeated sexual assault of a child and an order denying his postconviction motion. Mathews argues he is entitled to a new trial because the prosecutor engaged in misconduct, he received constitutionally ineffective assistance from his trial counsel, and the victim was incredible as a matter of law. We reject Mathews’ arguments and affirm.
