Double Jeopardy
By: Derek Hawkins//May 3, 2016//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Joshua Java Berry
Case No.: 2015AP1195-CR
Officials: Curley, P.J., Brennan and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Double Jeopardy
Joshua Java Berry appeals a non-final order denying his motion to dismiss. Berry argues that because the circuit court previously dismissed a charge of possession of a firearm as a felon contrary to WIS. STAT. § 941.29(2)(a) (2013-14) with prejudice, his right to be free from double jeopardy was violated by denying his motion to dismiss a subsequent charge of possession of a firearm as someone who has been adjudicated delinquent contrary to § 941.29(2)(b). We disagree and affirm.
