2nd-degree reckless homicide — self-defense — defense of others
Andrew Neevel appeals a judgment convicting him of second-degree reckless homicide and an order denying his motion for a new trial.
He argues: (1) the trial court erroneously prohibited Neevel from presenting “McMorris evidence” regarding the victim’s history of domestic violence; (2) the court improperly refused to instruct the jury on defense of others; (3) the prosecutor misstated the law regarding self-defense, preventing the real controversy from being tried; and (4) the cumulative effect of these alleged errors justifies a new trial. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
Dist IV, Iowa County, VanDeHey, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Jurek, Anthony J., Middleton; For Respondent: Nelson, Larry E., Dodgeville; Wittwer, Jacob J., Madison
