Appellate Opinions Released December 11, 2007
The Wisconsin Supreme Court released the following opinion:
State v. Ford (The bailiff's contact with the crime victim was not structural error requiring automatic reversal of conviction, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding insufficient prejudice to warrant mistrial. Further, the trial court did not err in allowing witnesses testify to the contents of a surveillance tape because the tape was unplayable.)
Update: David Ziemer reports in the Wisconsin Law Journal December 14, 2007 Best evidence rule includes videotapes: If tape can't be viewed, it is 'destroyed'. [TRB]
The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released these opinions, recommending publication of the following:
Kriska v. WERC (WERC does not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal of a dismissed Department of Corrections employee who was serving a promotional probationary period).
