Criminal Procedure — involuntary statements

Ronnell Donyell Farr appeals a judgment of conviction, entered after a jury found him guilty of first-degree intentional homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon. He also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion, filed under Wis. Stat. § 809.30. Farr argues: (1) he was denied his right to due process by coercive police conduct during his interrogations; (2) the fruit of his involuntary confession should have been excluded; and (3) a new trial is warranted in the interests of justice. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
