Evidence – hearsay — harmless error

Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Criminal

Evidence – hearsay — harmless error

Perry Carothers Jr., appeals from a judgment, entered upon a jury verdict, convicting him of possession of a firearm by a felon, as a repeater. We hold that the trial court did not erroneously exercise its discretion in denying Carothers’s motion for a mistrial and, if it erred in admitting certain hearsay, that error was harmless. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
