WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Nikola Stevlic
Case No.: 2018AP2289-CR
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Gundrum and Davis, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Other-acts Evidence
Nikola Stevlic appeals from a judgment convicting him of two counts of second-degree sexual assault by use of force; false imprisonment; two counts of substantial battery intending bodily harm; second-degree recklessly endangering safety, all with a domestic-abuse penalty enhancer; and exposing a child to harmful descriptions. He also appeals from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief based on his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Stevlic first contends the trial court’s admission of other-acts evidence infected the entire trial. We affirm the judgment and order.
