WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Kevin B. Hutchins

Case No.: 2018AP1144-CR

Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Ineffective of Assistance of Counsel

Kevin B. Hutchins appeals a judgment of conviction, following a jury trial, of two counts of second-degree sexual assault, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of battery, all as incidents of domestic abuse. Hutchins also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for relief. Hutchins contends that the trial court erred in admitting prejudicial other acts evidence and that defense counsel was ineffective for failing to move for a mistrial when the State referenced the other acts in its opening statement. We disagree and affirm.
