WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Kenneth K. Gordan
Case No.: 2018AP1869-CR; 2018AP1870-CR
Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence
Kenneth K. Gordon appeals his judgments of conviction for endangering safety by using a dangerous weapon and felony intimidation of a witness. Gordon asserts that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the gun that was seized from his residence during the execution of a search warrant issued subsequent to Gordon’s arrest, after a protective sweep of the home had been performed. Gordon argues that the protective sweep was unconstitutional, and that this alleged “flagrant police misconduct” warrants suppression of the evidence obtained in the subsequent search pursuant to the warrant.
Additionally, Gordon argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions. Furthermore, with regard to his conviction for witness intimidation, he asserts that his Sixth Amendment right to confrontation was violated. We disagree and affirm.
