WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Deondre T. Townsend

Case No.: 2022AP001956-CR

Officials: White, C.J., Donald, P.J., and Geenen, J.

Focus: Franks-Mann Motion-Suppression of Evidence

Townsend appeals from a judgment of conviction entered following a jury trial for first-degree intentional homicide and armed robbery, both counts as a party to a crime. On appeal, Townsend argues that the trial court erroneously denied his motion to suppress and erroneously denied his Franks-Mann motion that challenged the affidavit attached to the search warrant for his home. Upon review, the appeals court concludes that Townsend forfeited his argument made on appeal challenging the trial court’s decision on his motion to suppress, and concludes that the trial court appropriately denied Townsend’s Franks-Mann motion.

Affirmed.
