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.

We reject these arguments and affirm the circuit court’s order.
