Kurt Meyer appeals a judgment convicting him of being party to the crimes of robbery with use of force, burglary, substantial battery with intent to do substantial harm, and disorderly conduct. Meyer claims the trial court improperly denied his request for a continuance to find a witness, and that the absence of the witness kept the real controversy from being tried.
For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that the trial court’s decision was an appropriate exercise of discretion and decline to order a new trial in the interest of justice.
This opinion will not be published.
Dist IV, Sauk County, Evenson, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys:
For Appellant: Patricia A. Fitzgerald, Mt. Horeb
For Respondent: John R. Sweeney, Madison; Maura O. Melka, Baraboo
