WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Connie Mae Apfel
Case No.: 2016AP188-CR
Officials: Hruz, J.
Focus: Domestic Abuse Enhancer – Court Error – Prior Inconsistent Statements
Connie Apfel appeals a judgment of conviction for misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct, both with a domestic abuse enhancer, and for possession of drug paraphernalia as party to a crime. Apfel also appeals an order denying her postconviction motion. She argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion when it admitted prior inconsistent statements of a witness into evidence without a proper foundation. We disagree with Apfel and affirm.
