WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jeffery Dwayne Sanders
Case No.: 2016AP1414-CR; 2016AP1415-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Sentencing – Sentence Reduction
Jeffery Sanders appeals judgments sentencing him after revocation of his probation and an order denying his motion to reduce the sentences. The circuit court imposed the maximum consecutive sentences: one-and-one-half years’ initial confinement and two years’ extended supervision for delivery of less than 200 grams of THC as a party to a crime, and three years’ initial confinement and three years’ extended supervision for felony bail jumping. Sanders contends the sentences are unduly harsh and unconscionable because they are out of proportion to the seriousness of the offenses. Because we conclude Sanders has not established an improper exercise of the sentencing court’s discretion, we affirm the judgments and order.
