Firearms — felon-in-possession — sufficiency of the evidence

Patrick E. Thurman appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered after a jury trial, for one count of delivering cocaine as a party to a crime (one gram or less) and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 961.41(1)(cm)1g., 939.05 and 941.29(2) (2009-10). He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion. He argues: (1) there was insufficient evidence to support the felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm count; and (2) the trial court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion. We reject his arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
