General Appeal – Denial of Postconviction Motion

2014AP354-CR State of Wisconsin v. Jeffrey L. Elverman

Jeffrey Elverman, pro se, appeals the judgment of conviction for theft greater than $10,000, contrary to WIS. STAT. §§ 943.20(1)(a) and (3)(c) and 939.50(3)(g) (2003-04). He also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion.3 Elverman presents numerous arguments on appeal: (1) that the complaint was defective because it did not sufficiently give him notice of the charges against him; (2) that the statute of limitations had expired prior to commencement of the criminal proceedings as to all but two checks at issue, or alternatively, that the statute of limitations had expired as to all checks at issue because the filing of the complaint did not commence criminal proceedings; (3) that venue was not proper in Milwaukee County; (4) that the trial court erred in denying his request for a unanimity jury instruction; (5) that the evidence was insufficient to establish that he lacked consent; and (6) that his trial counsel was ineffective. We affirm.

Affirmed.
