WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Ross Harris, Jr.,
Case No.: 2018AP1667-CR
Officials: KLOPPENBURG, J.
Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence – Testimony
A jury found Ross Harris, Jr., not guilty of battery and guilty of disorderly conduct arising out of a physical altercation between Harris and A.D. in a hospital elevator. Harris argues that the circuit court erroneously denied his motions for a mistrial based on three instances of what Harris asserted was improper testimony by two of the State’s witnesses. I conclude that Harris fails to show that the court erroneously exercised its discretion and, therefore, I affirm.
