WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Armando Mezo-Reyes

Case No.: 2015AP1746-CR; 2015AP1747-CR

Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.

Focus: Court Error – Motion to Suppress

Armando Mezo-Reyes appeals from judgments convicting him after a jury trial of second-degree sexual assault, misdemeanor battery, and two counts of sexual intercourse with a child over sixteen, contrary to WIS. STAT. §§ 940.225(2)(a), 940.19(1), and 948.09 (2013-14). We reject his contentions that the trial court erred in denying his motions to suppress his custodial statements and for a mistrial. We affirm the judgments in the main but reverse them in part and remand to the trial court to vacate the DNA analysis surcharges assessed for the misdemeanor convictions.
