WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Robert Charles Holmes
Case No.: 2017AP801-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Motion to Suppress Evidence Denied
Robert Holmes appeals a judgment convicting him of manufacturing psilocin and maintaining a drug trafficking place. Holmes argues his girlfriend’s consent to a search of their residence was not voluntary, and the circuit court therefore erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained during the search. He further argues the court erred by excluding a psychologist’s testimony regarding his girlfriend’s mental state at the time she gave consent and by refusing to rely on the psychologist’s report. We reject these arguments and affirm.
