00-3432-CR State v. Hennings

Listen to this article

Charles E. Hennings appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of felony murder. Hennings also appeals from the trial court’s order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Hennings argues that the circuit court erred in denying his postconviction motion and entering judgment because: (1) an alternate juror tainted the jury’s deliberations by sharing extraneous prejudicial information with the jury; (2) he was denied his constitutional right to confront two witnesses against him; (3) the out-of-court photo identification array was impermissibly suggestive; (4) the trial court failed to declare a mistrial after the jury advised the court that it was unable to reach a verdict; (5) instructing the jury on Wis JI-Criminal 520 compromised the verdict; and (6) the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law for a conviction.

We affirm.
