WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Norris W. Culver, Sr.

Case No.: 2016AP2160-CR

Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.

Focus: Statutory Interpretation – Post or Publish

Norris W. Culver, Sr., appeals from a judgment convicting him of violating the “post or publish” of a private depiction statute and the felon-in-possession of a firearm statute and from an order rejecting his postconviction claims that those statutes are unconstitutional. Culver argued the “post or publish” statute is overbroad, vague, and violates the Commerce Clause. He also argued the felon-in-possession statute violates his constitutional right to bear arms because the felony he committed was nonviolent. We reject his challenges and affirm.
