Unlawful Use of Telephone
Sufficiency of the evidence
Kurt Schmidt appeals a judgment of conviction for unlawful use of a telephone, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 947.012(1)(c). Schmidt argues there was insufficient evidence to prove that he made the call or that the call was abusive. Schmidt also argues the State violated the best evidence rule. We reject Schmidt’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
