WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jimmy D. McDaniel

Case No.: 2020AP950-CR

Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard, and Kloppenburg, JJ.

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Jimmy McDaniel was convicted, after a jury trial in the Crawford County Circuit Court, of first-degree reckless homicide and strangulation of Linda Kline. McDaniel appeals the circuit court’s rulings concerning: an evidentiary objection at trial; the circuit court’s denial of his request for postconviction discovery; and the circuit court’s denial of his postconviction motion for a new trial based on the purported ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. We affirm the rulings of the circuit court.
