WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jeffrey D. Lee
Case No.: 2018AP1507-CR
Officials: Kessler, Kloppenburg and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Jury Instructions – Other-acts Evidence
Jeffrey D. Lee appeals a judgment of conviction, following a jury trial, for first-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of twelve. On appeal, Lee argues that: (1) the other-acts evidence was irrelevant and improperly admitted; (2) the trial court’s jury instructions regarding the use of other-acts evidence were confusing to the jury and prejudicial; and (3) his sentence was unduly harsh and excessive. We affirm.
