01-2164, 01-2165, 01-2166 In the Interest of Rikki V., Trishia V., Sebastian A.: Langlade County v. Jessie A.

By: dmc-admin//November 12, 2001//

Listen to this article

Jessi A. appeals orders terminating her parental rights to Rikki V., Trisha V. and Sebastian A. Jessi raises four issues, contending that: (1) The jury was incorrectly instructed on the law with respect to consideration of evidence of post-filing events; (2) she should have received a separate trial from the father, Andre A.; (3) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict because no extension order was placed into evidence; and (4) she was denied effective assistance of counsel. This court agrees that the jury was incorrectly instructed in the applicable law and that the error requires reversal of the termination orders.

The matter is therefore remanded for a new trial.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Langlade County, Nolan, J., Hoover, P.J.

Attorneys:

For Appellant: James B. Connell, Wausau
