Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Eric A. Newman
Case No.: 2020AP1517-CR
Officials: Blanchard, P.J., Fitzpatrick, and Graham, JJ.
Focus: Jury Instructions
Eric Newman appeals a judgment of conviction for aggravated battery and an order denying his postconviction motion. Newman contends that the circuit court erred by denying his request for a jury instruction on the privilege of self-defense. In the alternative, he contends that his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to elicit sufficient testimony to meet the minimal threshold for the self-defense instruction. We reject both arguments. We affirm.
