State v. Thomas Treadway, 2002 WI App 195
For Treadway: Lynn E. Hackbarth
Issue: Whether a respondent is entitled to the number of peremptory challenges prescribed by § 972.03, because of the potential for life-long custody.
Holding: Because an SVP respondent is entitled to periodic review, the analogy to a life sentence fails, and peremptory challenges are regulated by § 805.08(3) (three challenges, plus one if additional jurors are to be selected).
