Pleas & Sentencing – Judge Impartiality

14AP2245-CR State of Wisconsin v. Johnson Carter

Johnson Carter, pro se, appeals an amended judgment of conviction that commuted a part of his sentence pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 973.13,1 reducing the term of his extended supervision for one offense from three years to two years. Although Carter raises four issues on appeal, only two of the issues are properly before this court: (1) whether the circuit court judge should have recused himself; and (2) whether Carter is entitled to resentencing on all of the charges against him, rather than commutation of the excessive sentence for one count. We affirm the amended judgment.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam.
