In August and September, COA released a number of published decisions:
In August, COA ordered the publication of two decisions relevant to our practice:
State v. Jayden Adams, 2024 WI App 44 (holding that juvenile defendants entitled to all evidence the State intends to introduce at preliminary examination to establish probable cause of alleged jurisdictional offense).
State v. Logan T. Kruckenberg Anderson, 2024 WI App 45 (affirming circuit court’s order suppressing statements because they were involuntary, but reversing order suppressing additional statements because suspect not subjected to custodial interrogation).
And in September, COA published two additional decisions relevant to our practice:
State v. Percy A. Robinson, 2024 WI App 50 (holding that Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches during Milwaukee County’s all-paper review where a judicial official determines probable cause and sets bail after a warrantless arrest).
State v. Kenneth W. Hill, 2024 WI App 51 (holding that: 1) prior conviction evidence under Wis. Stat. § 904.04(2)(b)2 encompasses only the fact of conviction and not the underlying details of the prior case; 2) whether prior conviction is similar to alleged violation is determined by reviewing underlying circumstances of the current charge and those of the prior conviction — subject to the greater latitude rule; and 3) other-acts evidence analysis for § 904.04(2)(a) evidence inapplicable to prior conviction statute — admission of prior conviction subject to Wis. Stat. §§ 904.01 and 904.03).
