WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Seth Z. Lehrke

Case No.: 2016AP1965-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Motion to Suppress – Miranda Waiver

Seth Lehrke appeals a judgment of conviction, entered following a jury trial, and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Lehrke contends the circuit court erred by denying his motion to suppress his confession because his Miranda waiver was not knowing and intelligent, and by excluding all portions of a SANE report, except for its medical conclusion. We agree with Lehrke on these issues. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for suppression of Lehrke’s confession and for a new trial.
