Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sentencing – accurate information – restitution
APPEAL from a judgment and an order of the circuit court for Milwaukee County: DAVID A. HANSHER, Judge. Affirmed.
Timothy D. Russell appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after he pled guilty to one count of theft, see Wis. Stat. § 943.20(1)(b) (2011-12),[1]
and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Russell argues that: he was deprived of due process when the circuit court allegedly
erroneously sentenced him for the crime of misconduct in public office; and the circuit court erred when it ordered Russell to pay restitution for a West
Milwaukee office space because he alleges that the State failed to demonstrate a causal nexus between the office space and his crimes. Because the record
belies Russell’s assertions in both instances, we affirm.
