Sentencing
Discretion
Hansel F. Merriweather appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 941.29(2)(a) (2009-10), and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion by imposing an “excessive sentence” after mischaracterizing certain factors as aggravating. We reject his arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
