WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. David Aaron Piggue, Jr.
Case No: 2015AP152-CR
Officials: Kessler and Brennan, JJ., and Daniel L. LaRocque, Reserve Judge.
Practice Area: Pleas & Sentencing – Sentence Credit
David Aaron Piggue, Jr., who was convicted of witness intimidation, appeals the judgment of conviction and the postconviction order denying him sentence credit for time spent in custody awaiting trial for a sexual assault charge. Piggue was awaiting his sexual assault trial when he intimidated the assault victim, attempting to persuade her not to testify against him. On appeal he argues that because the trial court discussed the sexual assault, for which he was ultimately acquitted, when sentencing him for the intimidation charge, he should be awarded credit for the time he spent in custody related to the sexual assault charge. We disagree and affirm the trial court.
