Listen to this article

Michael Scheiwe appeals from a judgment of conviction for 14 counts of criminal nonsupport. Scheiwe argues that 12 of the counts should be dismissed because they are barred by the statute of limitations or the doctrine of laches. He also seeks a new trial on grounds that the trial court erroneously admitted hearsay testimony concerning Scheiwe’s intention to avoid paying child support and erroneously failed to strike opinion evidence by one of the State’s witnesses. We conclude that none of the counts is barred by the statute of limitations or the doctrine of laches.

However, we conclude that Scheiwe is entitled to a new trial based on the erroneous admission of evidence and, therefore, reverse the judgment and remand for a new trial on all counts.
