Harmless Error

14AP1928-CR State of Wisconsin v. Timothy Dean

Timothy Dean appeals a judgment of conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, contrary to WIS. STAT§ 961.41(1m)(cm)3.1 Dean was also convicted of two counts of bail jumping, and he argues the trial court erroneously informed the jury of the charges for which he was on bail. We conclude that Dean forfeited an expanded argument first presented on appeal, and that any error was harmless. Accordingly, we affirm.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam.
