WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Hector Lozornio

Case No.: 2019AP1075-CR

Officials: Brash, C.J., Dugan and White, JJ.

Focus: Admission of Evidence – Other-acts Evidence

Hector Lozornio appeals the judgment of conviction for three counts of sexual assault of a child and the trial court’s denial of his postconviction motion for a new trial. Lozornio argues that the trial court erred when it admitted other-acts evidence of domestic violence. We conclude that the other-acts evidence was properly admitted, that he is not entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice, and that the evidence was sufficient to support his convictions. We further conclude that Lozornio’s remaining arguments were forfeited. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court.
