WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Anthony Lamont Johnson
Case No.: 2016AP745-CR
Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.
Focus: Postconviction Relief – Multiplicitous Conviction
Anthony Lamont Johnson appeals a judgment of conviction entered following a jury trial and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that his convictions for strangulation and suffocation in violation of WIS. STAT. § 940.235(1) (2015-16)1, and for battery in violation of WIS. STAT. § 940.19(1), are multiplicitous, and requests that this Court vacate his battery conviction. Because we conclude that neither offense is included in the other under WIS. STAT. § 939.66(1), we affirm.
