WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Anissa E. Weier
Case No.: 2015AP1836-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Hagedorn, J.
Focus: Reverse Waiver – Juvenile
Anissa E. Weier appeals from a nonfinal order denying a reverse waiver to juvenile court. The dispositive issue is whether Weier met her burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that reverse waiver under WIS. STAT. § 970.032(2) is appropriate under the circumstances. The circuit court denied Weier’s request after determining that she failed to do so. We affirm, as the circuit court properly exercised its discretion when it rationally considered the relevant testimony, applied the proper legal standard, and reached a conclusion that a reasonable judge could reach.
