WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Alberto E. Rivera

Case No.: 2018AP952-CR

Officials: Brennan, Brash and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence

Alberto E. Rivera appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered on a jury verdict, of being a felon in possession of a firearm as a repeater; first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime and as a repeater; attempted first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime and as a repeater; and two counts of armed robbery with use of force as a party to a crime and as a repeater.

Rivera argues that the trial court’s admission of other acts evidence was prejudicial error. He further argues that there was insufficient evidence for the jury to convict him of first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime; and, attempted first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon, as a party to a crime. We disagree and, therefore, affirm.
