WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. John Spooner
Case No.: 2015AP2089-CR
Officials: Kessler, Brash and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Venue and Evidence
John Spooner appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered upon a jury’s verdict, on one count of first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon. He claims that the trial court erred in refusing to change venue; that insufficient evidence supports the jury’s finding of guilt; that the trial court erred in refusing to give a particular jury instruction; and that the real controversy was not fully tried. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment.
