State v. Pocknell

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

Decided April 25, 2019No. Appeal No. 2016AP1659-CRPublished

1Per curiam

¶1 Christopher Pocknell seeks plea withdrawal. He argues that the undisputed failure of the circuit court to comply with WIS. STAT. § 971.08(1)(c)1 during the plea colloquy was not harmless error, an analysis that applies under State v. Fuerte , 2017 WI 104, 378 Wis. 2d 504, 904 N.W.2d 773. Pocknell also argues that he is entitled to plea withdrawal because his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance with respect to his pleas by failing to adequately advise Pocknell of the consequences of his pleas. We reject both arguments and affirm.
