Sentencing
Cruel and unusual punishment

Jacarr Canta Johnson, pro se, appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief brought pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 974.06. Johnson argues that his sentence violated the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment because it was excessive and overly harsh. He also argues that the circuit court misused its sentencing discretion because it imposed a longer sentence on him than sentences received by other defendants convicted of these offenses in Milwaukee County. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
