WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jerard Gregory Hampton
Case No.: 2017AP300-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Plea & Sentencing – Plea Withdrawal
Jerard Hampton appeals a judgment, entered upon his no-contest pleas, convicting him of delivering one gram or less of cocaine; possession with the intent to deliver ten to fifty grams of heroin; and possession of a firearm as a felon. Hampton also appeals the order denying his postconviction motions for plea withdrawal or, alternatively, “reconsideration of the sentence.” Hampton argues that the State’s failure to disclose “exculpatory evidence” warrants plea withdrawal. Hampton also claims the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by imposing an “abundantly excessive” sentence. We reject Hampton’s arguments and affirm the judgment and the order.
