By: Derek Hawkins//September 12, 2018//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Ronnie Cecil Peebles
Case No.: 2017AP2536-CR
Officials: FITZPATRICK, J.
Focus: Abuse of Discretion – Motion for Continuance Denied
Ronnie Cecil Peebles was convicted of battery in the Waushara County Circuit Court. Peebles argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in denying his request for a continuance of the jury trial. Peebles’ argument is rejected because the circuit court properly exercised its discretion in denying the request for the continuance, and Peebles has not shown that he was prejudiced in any way by the circuit court’s denial of his request. Accordingly, I affirm the decision of the circuit court.
