Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sexually Violent Persons – discharge — new trials
John Whiteman appeals a judgment denying his petition for discharge from confinement as a sexually violent person. He argues that: (1) he is entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice because the real controversy was not fully tried due to misleading, contradictory, and unclear jury instructions; and (2) the State failed to present sufficient evidence to support the verdict. We reject these arguments, and affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
