Kimberly A. v. Charles B., 2011AP129, District 3, 8/4/11
court of appeals decision (1-judge, not for publication); for Charles B.: Leonard D. Kachinsky; case activity
Counsel’s strategic decision not to voir dire jurors about what they may have heard during a heated sidebar discussion, and instead to request a limiting instruction to disregard anything they may have overheard, wasn’t deficient performance, ¶12. Nor was it prejudicial, given that he “offers no evidence, other than pure speculation, showing the jury actually overheard the sidebar,” ¶17.
