1Opinion of the CourtAnderson, J.
Ralph E. Adams appeals from an amended judgment of conviction for one count of misconduct in public office in violation of § 946.12(2), Stats., and an order denying his postconviction motion. On appeal, Adams challenges his counsel's effectiveness relating to (1) his prearrest silence, (2) evidence relating to his job performance, (3) a witness' comment regarding the victim, and (4) evidence of threats to a witness, and he questions the propriety of the assistant district attorney's closing argument. We reject Adams' claims and affirm the judgment and the order.
