Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Evidence – exhibits — jury room
Michael S. Ziegler appeals from a judgment committing him as a sexually violent person. He argues that, standing alone, the trial court’s decision to send the report of one of the State’s testifying psychologists to the jury room was an erroneous exercise of discretion, and that the error then was compounded by the court’s refusal to send in the reports of two psychologists who testified on his behalf. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
