Curry v. State

The record shows that counsel was appointed for the defendant and that he appeared in court at all critical times during the course of the proceedings. We said in Van Voorhis v. State (1965), 26 Wis. 2d 217, 223, 131 N. W. 2d 833, that if the record shows that there has been a failure to provide counsel, it becomes the duty of the state to show that the defendant was not prejudiced thereby and that no constitutional right was infringed as a result. However, we have decided in Mueller v. State (1966), 32 Wis. 2d 70, 74, 145 N. W. 2d 84, and State v. Koerner (1966), 32 Wis. 2d 60, 65, 145 N. W.…
