2010AP56-CR State v. Barber

Evidence
Gang affiliation

Demario Earl Barber has appealed from a judgment convicting him after a jury trial of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in violation of Wis. Stat. §§ 939.32(1)(a) and 940.01(1)(a) (2009-10). The sole issue raised by him on appeal is whether the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion at trial by admitting evidence regarding the gang affiliation of Barber and various witnesses. Because the trial court properly exercised its discretion in admitting the evidence, we affirm Barber’s judgment of conviction. This opinion will not be published.
