[U] State V. Buford

¶1. Donald J. Buford appeals from a judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of one count of first-degree reckless homicide, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 940.02(1) (2001-02).*fn1 He also appeals from an order denying his post-conviction motion. Buford claims: (1) he did not knowingly waive his right to testify; (2) his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance; (3) the trial court should have held a Machner*fn2 hearing on his ineffective assistance claim; and (4) he should be granted a new trial in the interest of justice. Because we resolve each claim in favor of upholding the judgment and order, we affirm.
