WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Chad A. Renier
Case No.: 2018AP99-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Due Process Violation
Chad Renier, pro se, appeals from a judgment of conviction for two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child and one count of child enticement. Renier next argues he is entitled to a new trial and a sanctions hearing to determine whether the charges should be dismissed on the grounds that his due process rights were violated by the State’s alleged failure to preserve text messages. Renier further claims the State “disclosed, twisted, and removed the remaining messages from context to improperly sway the verdict.” Renier also challenges an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. We affirm.
