Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sentencing — discretion
Richard L. Jones, Jr., appeals from a judgment of conviction for six crimes related to the shooting of his wife and sixteen-year-old stepdaughter. He also appeals from an order denying his motion for sentence modification. He argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion because the sentence is longer than necessary and because the trial court “focused exclusively on the seriousness of the offense.” We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Flanagan, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Jensen, Jeffrey W., Milwaukee; For Respondent: Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee; Weber, Gregory M., Madison
