2010AP1452-CR State v. Brown

Listen to this article

Sentencing
DNA surcharge

Charleston Antonio Brown appeals from a judgment convicting him of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of cocaine, second or subsequent offense. He also appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Brown contends that the circuit court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion by failing to consider mitigating factors and his character and by failing to link the length of his sentence with sentencing objectives. He further asserts that the circuit court’s order requiring him to pay the DNA surcharge should be vacated and that the circuit court erred when it denied his postconviction motion. We reject Brown’s arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
