Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure – joinder — voir dire
Michael D. Hatton appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and disorderly conduct and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to sever improperly joined charges and that he is entitled to a new trial because the record fails to establish that the jury panel was administered a truth-telling oath prior to voir dire. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist II, Walworth County, Reddy, J., Per Curiam
