Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Evidence – relevance — hearsay
William E. Akins appeals a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of first-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon. He contends that the circuit court erred by: (1) limiting his cross-examination of a witness; and (2) barring admission of a text message as evidence on hearsay grounds. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Dallet, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Loeb, Basil M., Milwaukee; For Respondent: Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee; Lloyd, Katherine Desmond, Madison
