WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Shaun L. Parish

Case No.: 2016AP439-CR

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

Focus: Voir Dire

Shaun Parish appeals from a judgment convicting him of one count of repeated sexual assault of a child and from the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He contends the prosecutor made inappropriate and prejudicial remarks in closing argument and that a juror’s failure to answer voir dire questions accurately, or at all, demonstrates the juror’s bias. We disagree and affirm the judgment and order.
