WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Stephan I. Roberson
Case No.: 2017AP1894-CR
Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Blanchard and Fitzpatrick, JJ.
Focus: Suppression of Evidence
In this interlocutory appeal, the State argues that the circuit court, prior to trial, improperly suppressed evidence that a shooting victim identified a photo of defendant Roberson as the shooter. The State also argues that the circuit court relied on the taint of the pretrial identification using the photo to additionally and erroneously rule that the victim would not be allowed to identify Roberson in court. We agree with the State that these suppression rulings were in error. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
