WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. James C. Faustmann
Case No.: 2017AP1932-CR
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: Court Error – Lesser Incldued Offense
James C. Faustmann was charged with unlawful use of computerized communication systems under WIS. STAT. § 947.0125(2)(a) for sending threats and obscenities by email to a public figure and bail jumping. The jury found Faustmann guilty on both counts. Faustmann argues the circuit court erred by: (1) denying his request to include disorderly conduct as a lesser-included offense of unlawful use of computerized communication systems and (2) allowing acts that were charged in another jurisdiction, but not yet adjudicated, to be introduced as other-acts evidence. We affirm.
