State v. Jimmie R.R., 2004 WI App 168, motion for reconsideration denied 9/15/04
For Jimmie R.R.: Martha K. Askins, SPD, Madison Appellate
Issue/Holding: A child’s videotaped statement may be admitted under the residual exception, § 908.03(24), without satisfying all the requirements of § 908.08. ¶40. The trial court properly applied the trustworthiness test of State v. Sorenson, 143 Wis. 2d 226, 245-46, 421 N.W.2d 77 (1988), ¶41. Moreover, a prior appeal involving the same evidence admitted at a different trial affirmed admissibility, ¶42, citing State v. Jimmie R.R., 2000 WI App 5, 232 Wis.2d 138, 606 N.W.2d 196.
