Unlawful Seizure – Reasonable Suspicion – Suppression of Evidence
By: Derek Hawkins//September 8, 2021//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Lawrence Griffin, Jr.,
Case No.: 2020AP1043-CR
Officials: Brash, P.J., Dugan and Donald, JJ.
Focus: Unlawful Seizure – Reasonable Suspicion – Suppression of Evidence
Lawrence Griffin, Jr. appeals his judgment of conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon. Griffin pled guilty to that charge after the trial court denied his motion to suppress. Griffin asserts that that the trial court erred in denying his suppression motion, arguing that at the time the arresting police officers seized him— resulting in the discovery of the gun—they did not have reasonable suspicion for the seizure, and it was therefore illegal. We disagree and affirm.
