Abuse of Discretion – Amended Information

2014AP2301-CR State of Wisconsin v. Timothy J. Johnson

Timothy Johnson appeals from judgments convicting him of felony bail jumping and misdemeanor receiving stolen property. On appeal, Johnson challenges the circuit court’s discretionary decision to permit the State to amend the information during trial from misdemeanor theft to misdemeanor receiving stolen property. We conclude that the circuit court did not misuse its discretion, and we affirm the judgments.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam.
