Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Criminal

Sentencing — discretion

Lisa Payne appeals a judgment, entered upon her no contest plea, convicting her of identity theft, as party to a crime. Payne also appeals the order denying her postconviction motion for resentencing. Payne contends the circuit court “went beyond” the appropriate sentencing factors when it considered whether her medical needs would be better served in jail or prison. Because the court properly exercised its sentencing discretion, we reject this argument and affirm the judgment and order. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
