[T] State v. Dombrowski4/29/2003
ed representation.
. In the third conviction at issue, No. 95-CT-1266, Dombrowski was initially represented by a state public defender. After his attorney negotiated a plea agreement, Dombrowski absconded. When he was returned for trial thirteen months later, he was no longer eligible for state public defender representation. The court refused to accept Dombrowski's plea if he wanted an attorney. Dombrowski responded, "I guess I don't need an attorney then." When the court offered to delay proceedings, Dombrowski responded, "maybe I should talk to an attorney." The court then adjourned the matter to allow Dombrowski an opportunity to speak with counsel. When he again appeared without counsel, the trial court summarized the situation: "You consulted with someone and after doing that you're satisfied that its reasonable to go forward." Dombrowski then proceeded to plead no contest, receiving the full benefit of the plea agreement that had been negotiated by his attorney before he absconded. The decision to plead no contest and the details of the plea agreement were negotiated while Dombrowski was represented by counsel. Again, there was little more for counsel to do, and the record establishes that Dombrowski understood he had already received the benefits of representation by counsel.
By the Court. -- Judgment and order affirmed.
This opinion will not be published. See Wis. Stat. Rule 809.23(1)(b)5.
