Citation | 208 N.W.2d 321,59 Wis.2d 354 |
Decision Date | 29 June 1973 |
Docket Number | No. S,S |
Parties | STATE of Wisconsin, Respondent, v. Jesse Lee WHITE and Booker Thomas Collins, Jr., Appellants. tate 2. |
Court | United States State Supreme Court of Wisconsin |
William M. Coffey and Dennis P. Coffey, Milwaukee, Cheryl S. Rosen, Milwaukee, of counsel, for appellants.
Robert W. Warren, Atty. Gen., Betty R. Brown, Asst. Atty. Gen., Madison, for respondent.
All members of the court participating agree that assignments of error argued on the appeal are, with one exception, without merit. On the remaining issue, the court is evenly divided. The trial judge refused to permit the defendants to be represented at trial by a volunteer, unpaid attorney in addition to court appointed and compensated counsel and one other volunteer attorney. Mr. Justices Wilkie, Beilfuss, and Heffernan would reverse on the ground that error was of constitutional proportions involving the denial of counsel of defendants' choice. Mr. Justices Hanley, Connor Hansen, and Robert Hansen would affirm on the ground that error was harmless in light of the fact that the representation afforded by court appointed counsel and the additional volunteer attorney was concededly competent.
HALLOWS, C.J., took no part.
