State ex rel. Washington v. State

¶ 1. In this decision, we first address Jerred Renard Washington's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed as an original proceeding in this court under State v. Knight, 168 Wis. 2d 509, 484 N.W.2d 540 (1992), and asserting ineffective assistance of appellate counsel.
