WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Roy A. Mitchell, Jr.
Case No.: 2016AP937-CR
Officials: Lundsten, J.
Focus: Restitution – Court Error
Roy A. Mitchell, Jr., appeals a criminal restitution order and an order denying reconsideration of that restitution order. Both orders were entered following Mitchell’s convictions for misdemeanor theft, prostitution, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Mitchell argues that the circuit court erred by including in the restitution order $11,059.43 to cover the alleged victim’s medical expenses resulting from a physical altercation between Mitchell and the alleged victim. As explained below, Mitchell fails to persuade me that the circuit court erred based on the arguments that Mitchell made in that court. Other arguments Mitchell makes for the first time on appeal I reject as forfeited. I affirm the circuit court’s orders.
