WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Michael L. Washington

Case No.: 2016AP238-CR

Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.

Focus: Motion For New Trial – Waiver

Michael L. Washington appeals from his conviction for burglary and resisting an officer and a postconviction order denying his motion for a new trial. Washington asserts that his convictions should be vacated and he should be granted a new trial as his absence from the entirety of his jury trial violated his statutory right to be present under WIS. STAT. § 971.04(1) (2013-14).2 We affirm as Washington waived his statutory right to be present.
