WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Patrick W. Mackie
Case No.: 2017AP1392-CR
Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Blanchard and Fitzpatrick, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Jury Instructions
Patrick Mackie appeals a judgment of conviction for first-degree child sexual assault, following a jury trial. Mackie contends that he is entitled to a new trial because the circuit court erred by denying his request for a jury instruction on the defense of mistake. Alternatively, Mackie contends that he is entitled to resentencing because the sentencing court relied on inaccurate information related to Mackie’s alcohol use. We reject both contentions. We affirm.
