WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Leonel Ortiz

Case No.: 2018AP88-CR

Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Kloppenburg and Fitzpatrick, JJ.

Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence

Following a jury trial, Leonel Ortiz was convicted of child abuse involving his then seven-year-old child. On appeal, Ortiz makes several arguments relating to a circuit court ruling prohibiting Ortiz from using, in his defense in this criminal case, juvenile court records pertaining to his child. We conclude that all of Ortiz’s arguments are forfeited, and we affirm the circuit court on that basis. We also choose to address the merits of Ortiz’s arguments and find the arguments lacking.
