Description
1 Juan F. Milanes appeals an order denying his motion for post-conviction relief under WIS. STAT.§ 974.06 (2003-04). Milanes pled no contest to several charges arising from a string of incidents that occurred over several days in March 2000. He now argues that he was denied effective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not sufficiently investigate his claim that his confession was coerced. He further argues that his attorney failed to adequately investigate a defense of mental disease or defect and that these failures together with his lack of fluency in English led to an unknowing and involuntary no contest plea. We disagree and hold that Milanes trial counsel acted reasonably in advising Milanes to plead no contest, and that Milanes has provided no evidence to support his claim of an invalid plea. We therefore affirm.
