Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Derek J. Degroot
Case No.: 2020AP140-CR; 2020AP141-CR; 2020AP142-CR
Officials: Gundrum, P.J., Neubauer and Reilly, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
In these consolidated appeals, Derek J. Degroot, pro se, appeals from judgments and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Degroot argues: (1) he was improperly denied the right to self-representation; (2) his trial counsel was ineffective in numerous ways; and (3) the prosecutor and the circuit court engaged in misconduct. We disagree in all regards and affirm.
