WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Antonio A. Johnson

Case No.: 2016AP924-CR

Officials: GUNDRUM, J.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

Antonio Johnson challenges his judgment of conviction and the circuit court’s order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He contends the court erred in rejecting his request for an additional three days of sentence credit. In light of Wisconsin Supreme Court precedent, we must agree. We modify the judgment and the judgment, as modified, is affirmed. We reverse the order of the circuit court and remand this matter to the court. On remand, an amended judgment of conviction shall be entered granting Johnson a total of thirty-three days of sentence credit.
