WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Timothy L. Landry
Case No.: 2017AP1739-CR
Officials: HAGEDORN, J.
Focus: Court Error – Abuse of Discretion
This case concerns whether the circuit court erred when it ordered Timothy L. Landry to comply with the sex offender registry—in his case, a discretionary call for the circuit court after Landry pled no contest to two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault. Landry argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion because the findings required by WIS. STAT. § 973.048(1m)(a) to impose registration were not made and were not sufficiently explained. We conclude that the circuit court properly exercised its discretion; the requisite findings were established and explained.
