WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Dominique Lashawn-Grafton
Case No.: 2015AP218
Officials: Brennan, Brash, JJ., and Daniel L. LaRocque, Reserve Judge
Focus: Resentencing – New Evidence
Dominique Lashawn Grafton appeals an order denying his postconviction motion seeking resentencing based on newly discovered evidence. We conclude that the postconviction court properly denied Grafton’s motion for two reasons: (1) there is not a reasonable probability that a
jury, looking at both the accusation and the recantation, would have a reasonable doubt as to Grafton’s guilt; and (2) the recantation lacks corroboration. Accordingly, we affirm.
