WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. David A. Allen
Case No.: 2017AP2134-CR
Officials: Brennan, Brash and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Newly Discovered Evidence
David A. Allen appeals the trial court’s judgment convicting him, after a jury trial, of child abuse by recklessly causing great bodily harm, first-degree reckless homicide, and child neglect resulting in great bodily harm. See WIS. STAT. §§ 948.03(3)(a), 940.02(1), 948.21(1)(c) (2011-12). Because he was able to find multiple experts to support his defense, Allen argues he is entitled to judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) or, alternatively, a new trial in the interest of justice. We disagree and affirm.
