Listen to this article

Dale Chu appeals from judgments entered on jury verdicts convicting him, as a party to a crime, of committing arson of both a building and property with the intent to defraud an insurer, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 943.02(1)(b), 943.04 and 939.05. Chu argues that he was wrongfully subjected to racial stereotyping when the prosecutor referred to his Korean culture. He presents four additional arguments, relating to exculpatory evidence, sufficiency of the evidence, ineffective assistance of counsel and the trial court’s admission of evidence. Finally, he seeks a discretionary reversal.

We reject Chu’s arguments and affirm the judgments.
