In May, June and July COA released a number of published decisions:
In May, COA ordered the publication of four decisions relevant to our practice:
State v. Raymand L. Vannieuwenhoven, 2024 WI App 27 (holding that police did not act unlawfully in using a “ruse” to obtain Vannieuwenhoven’s saliva for DNA analysis related to a cold case murder investigation).
State v. Luis A. Ramirez, 2024 WI App 28 (holding that a 46 month delay constituted a constitutional speedy trial violation).
State v. Carl Lee McAdory, 2024 WI App 29 (upholding circuit court’s decision to “swap out” overturned OWI conviction with previously dismissed RCS violation).
State v. Maria A. Larson, 2024 WI App 31 (holding that a request for substitution is timely filed so long as it made “before arraignment,” regardless of whether the trial court has been formally “assigned.”)
And in June, COA published one decision relevant to our practice:
State v. Cordiaral F. West, 2024 WI App 35 (upholding circuit court’s reading of Wis. Stat. § 971.365(1)((b) as to aggregation of separate drug-related acts into one charge or conviction and denying defendant’s requests for plea withdrawal).
Finally, in July, COA published two more relevant cases:
Scot Van Oudenhoven v. Wisconsin Department of Justice, 2024 WI App 38 (affirming denial of firearm purchase based on expunged DV conviction).
State v. Robert M. Schueller, 2024 WI App 40 (advancement of PTSD treatments is a “new factor” for sentence modification under these unique facts).
