01-1945-CR State v. Harrell

Listen to this article

On Nov. 20, 1996, George C. Harrell was sentenced to fourteen years in prison for burglary, as a party to the crime. He was also placed on probation, consecutive to the fourteen-year prison sentence, based on a judgment convicting him as a party to the crime of false imprisonment and substantial battery by use of a dangerous weapon. All of the convictions arose from an incident which occurred on Sept. 18, 1995, in which Harrell’s two accomplices forced their way into an apartment in Kenosha, severely battering the woman who lived in the apartment, demanding money, and restraining the woman’s young son by tying him with duct tape. When the boy’s father arrived home, the assailants struck him and fled. Harrell assisted the two assailants by helping them identify and locate the woman whose apartment they wanted to invade. He waited for them in the car while they committed the offenses, and fled with them.

Harrell has now appealed from an order denying his motion for sentence modification.

We affirm the trial court’s order.

This opinion will not be published.
