WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Daniel W. Morse
Case No.: 2018AP1293-CR
Officials: DUGAN, J.
Focus: Guilty Plea – Failure to Establishment Elements of Offense
Daniel W. Morse appeals a judgment, entered following guilty pleas, convicting him of three misdemeanor counts of theft by embezzlement not exceeding $2500. Morse, an attorney, is representing himself.
Morse argues that the conduct charged in this case did not establish the elements of theft by embezzlement under WIS. STAT. § 943.20(1)(b). In its response brief, the State argues that Morse waived the ability to challenge his convictions by entering his guilty pleas. In his reply brief, Morse does not refute the State’s argument and, therefore, he concedes the issue. Therefore, we affirm and do not address the merits of this appeal.
