Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. James Johnson
Case No.: 2015AP1153
Officials: Curley, P.J., Kessler and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Domestic Abuse Modifier
James Johnson appeals from an amended judgment of conviction, entered upon his guilty pleas, for one count of substantial battery and one count of attempted false imprisonment, both as domestic abuse incidents. See WIS. STAT. §§ 940.19(2), 940.30, 939.32, 968.075(1)(a) (2013-14). The judgment included domestic abuse surcharges under WIS. STAT. § 973.055. Johnson also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion. He seeks to have all references to the domestic abuse modifier stricken from the amended judgment of conviction and requests that the domestic abuse surcharges be vacated. Because there was an adequate factual basis to establish a qualifying relationship for the domestic abuse modifier and the circuit court made the requisite finding to support the domestic abuse surcharges, we affirm.”
