Court Error – Admission of Evidence
2014AP2151-CR State of Wisconsin v. Shironski A. Hunter
Shironski A. Hunter appeals the judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of: being a felon in possession of a firearm; possession of a short-barreled shotgun (domestic abuse); intentionally pointing a firearm at a person (domestic abuse); battery with use of a dangerous weapon (domestic abuse); and disorderly conduct with use of a dangerous weapon (domestic abuse)—all as a repeater. Hunter argues that: (1) the trial court erred in admitting certain statements from 911 calls made by the victim and her sister, as well as the initial statements the victim made to the responding officer, because Hunter believes the statements are inadmissible hearsay and admitting them violates the Confrontation Clause; (2) the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support the firearm convictions; and (3) the trial court erred in admitting testimony from three witnesses who were not previously disclosed to the defense pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 971.23(1)(d) (2013-14). For the reasons which follow, we affirm.
