Description
POSNER, Circuit Judge. In 1972 a group of masked men robbed Harold's Club, a restaurant and bar near Madison, Wisconsin, and shot and killed the bartender and a patron. The robbers were caught and in 1973 were tried and convicted in a Wisconsin state court. Among the defendants was Jesse James Ford, III, who was convicted of first-degree murder and armed robbery and sentenced to life imprisonment. After exhausting his state remedies, see State v. Shears, 68 Wis. 2d 217, 229 N.W.2d 103 (1975), Ford brought a habeas corpus proceeding in a federal district court in Wisconsin. The court denied his petition for habeas corpus, and he has appealed to this court, raising three grounds. The most substantial is a claim of denial of counsel. We discuss that last.
