WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Christopher E. Masarik

Case No.: 2015AP194-CR

Officials: Curley, P.J., Brennan and Kessler, JJ

Focus: Motion to Suppress

Christopher Masarik was convicted by a jury of first-degree reckless homicide and arson. He appeals from the judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion without a hearing. Masarik seeks a new trial on the grounds that the trial court erred when it denied

his suppression motion. In the alternative, he seeks an evidentiary hearing on his claim that counsel was ineffective. He also argues that he is entitled to concurrent rather than consecutive sentences. His arguments are unpersuasive, and accordingly, we affirm the judgment of conviction and the postconviction order.
