Criminal Procedure — judicial bias

Khalif Love appeals a conviction for second-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime, and possession of a firearm by a felon, both as repeaters. Love argues that the circuit court: (1) erred by giving the lesser included jury instruction for second-degree reckless homicide; (2) violated Love’s right to a fair trial by its conduct during and after testimony given by his brother, Litwain Love; and (3) improperly denied Love’s motion for a mistrial. Love also argues that Wisconsin “must change the way it handles felon-in-possession of a firearm trials.” We reject Love’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
