Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Criminal

Sentencing — discretion

Robert Smith, Jr. appeals a judgment of conviction for first-degree sexual assault of a child, by sexual contact with a child under the age of thirteen, and an order denying his postconviction motion for resentencing. Smith argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion by imposing its personal religious beliefs and by failing to adequately explain its reasons for the sentence imposed. We reject Smith’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
