Try CasePortal for Free[Consolidated.] J. Riedmann finds the trial court properly convicted defendant for assault by strangulation, domestic assault and child abuse. The father testified that he told defendant to stop arguing in front of their children which caused her to grab the back of his shirt, resulting in strangulation. Defendant then hit him in the face while holding their crying minor child. Another case arose from an officer’s investigation into defendant’s threatening of suicide and the suicide of the children, which resulted in her biting an officer during has attempt to detain her. All evidence supports conviction. There was no abuse of discretion in the court’s overruling defendant’s motion to withdraw her plea. The record is sufficient to address her claim of ineffective assistance and refutes the allegations. Affirmed.
