More on Trammell and JI-140

Attorney Michael Cicchini, one of the authors of the studies Emmanuel Trammell cited in his challenge to Wis. JI–Criminal 140, has published a post about the supreme court’s decision on his blog, The Legal Watchdog. He focuses his attention on the court’s perfunctory brush-off of the studies (in a footnote, no less) and responds to the court point-by-point. You will want to read it if you are litigating the issue based on the Cicchini and White studies.
