Criminal Procedure — severance

John Navigato was convicted of first-degree murder and other crimes in a joint trial with codefendant Teddy Bieker. Navigato was the ringleader of the group that committed these crimes, but Bieker fired the fatal shot. As we explain in our opinion in Bieker’s appeal, the only issues for trial concerned the parties’ intentions—in particular, whether Bieker shot the victim intentionally or accidentally. State v. Bieker, No. 2012AP2693-CR, unpublished slip op., ¶¶4, 46-48 (WI App Apr. 9, 2014). By the Court.—Judgment and order reversed and cause remanded with directions. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
