State v. Juan F. Milanes, 2006 WI App 259, PFR filed 12/7/06
Milanes: Joan M. Boyd

Issue/Holding: Counsel’s failure to litigate a (Miranda) suppression motion was not deficient where the issue turned purely on a credibility dispute between defendant and the detective and pursuit of the motion would have required rejecting a favorable offer, ¶¶15-16.
