State of Wisconsin, Plaintiff-Respondent-Petitioner v. Edward Johnson, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The court confirmed its prior decision reinstating Johnson's conviction after considering his motion for reconsideration based on ineffective assistance of counsel. Applying the two-part ineffective-assistance framework, the court declined to decide whether counsel performed deficiently because Johnson failed to establish prejudice from any of the three alleged deficiencies. The court also concluded that the alleged errors involving impeachment, hearsay objections, and closing argument did not undermine confidence in the trial's result.
