WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Oconto County v. Hayden K. Hawk
Case No.: 2020AP52
Officials: GILL, J.
Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence
Hayden Hawk, pro se, appeals from a civil forfeiture judgment for theft. Hawk contends that: (1) he did not receive proper notice of his trial; (2) the circuit court and the court of appeals erred in declining to appoint an attorney to represent him; (3) his confession was coerced; (4) the circuit court erred in not ordering the victim to preserve or produce surveillance camera footage; (5) his case was pursued only because of his ethnicity; and (6) there was insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt. We reject Hawk’s arguments and affirm the civil forfeiture judgment.
