Description
¶1. Cornelius R. Reed appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of operating a vehicle without the owner's consent as party to a crime, and possession of a firearm by a felon as party to a crime (and as a habitual criminal), contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 943.23(1g), 941.29(2), 939.05 and 939.62 (1999-2000).*fn1 He also appeals from an order denying his post-conviction motion. Reed claims: (1) the trial court erred and violated his due process rights when it denied his request to have two defense witnesses, who were in custody at the time of trial, appear in street clothes when they testified; (2) trial counsel provided ineffective assistance for failing to request a cautionary instruction related to the witnesses appearing in jail attire; and (3) the trial court erred when it did not give a cautionary instruction to the jury about the witnesses appearing in jail attire. Because the trial court did not erroneously exercise its discretion when it denied Reed's request to have his witnesses appear in street clothes, and because he failed to demonstrate prejudice on his ineffective assistance of counsel claim and on the trial court's failure to give a cautionary instruction, we affirm.
