WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Dale R. Radder

Case No.: 2015AP131-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Practice Area: Pleas & Sentencing – Sentence Modification

Dale Radder appeals a judgment convicting him of manufacturing/delivery of THC, maintaining a drug trafficking place, possession of THC, all as second or subsequent offenses, and 213 counts of possession of child pornography. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion to modify the sentences based on new factors. Radder identified two new factors: (1) evidence that sentences in Shawano County are greater than sentences imposed in adjacent counties for child pornography charges; and (2) an evaluation by Diane Lytton, Ph.D., showing Radder was not likely to commit a sexual offense. Because we conclude the circuit court properly exercised its discretion when it denied the motion to reduce Radder’s sentences, we affirm the judgment and order.
