WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. David Michael Murrell
Case No.: 2017AP289
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Kessler and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Newly Discovered Evidence
David Michael Murrell was convicted in 1993 after a jury trial of five counts of first-degree reckless injury while armed with a dangerous weapon. The charges stemmed from a shooting at the Roxbury Nightclub at which multiple people were injured. Murrell appeals the circuit court’s order denying his third motion for postconviction relief. He contends that he is entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. In the alternative, he argues that he should be given a new trial in the interest of justice. We reject these arguments and affirm the circuit court’s order.
