WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Avery L. Applewhite
Case No.: 2020AP683-CR
Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Davis, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Avery L. Applewhite appeals from a judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion. He asserts that the circuit court erred in denying his request for plea withdrawal, which was based on alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. He contends his trial counsel performed ineffectively by not moving to dismiss the charges against him on the ground that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated. We affirm.
