WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Marcus Lorenzo Jew

Case No.: 2019AP157-CR

Officials: Brash, P.J., Dugan and Donald, JJ.

Focus: Court Error – Motion to Suppress Evidence Denied

Marcus Lorenzo Jew appeals the judgment convicting him, upon the jury’s guilty verdicts, of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, as a party to a crime, while using a dangerous weapon; possession of a firearm by a felon; misdemeanor unlawful use of a telephone by threatening harm, as an act of domestic abuse; misdemeanor disorderly conduct, as an act of domestic abuse; and misdemeanor disorderly conduct, while using or threatening to use a dangerous weapon.

Jew argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to sever counts and to suppress evidence. He also argues that the trial court erred when it: (1) denied his motion to exclude the recordings of three 911 calls; (2) admitted the recording of a call that Jew made from jail stating that he had been convicted of three felonies; and (3) excluded potential impeachment evidence. We are not persuaded and, therefore, we affirm the judgment.
