Wisconsin Supreme Court
Lock, Plaintiff in Error v. State, Defendant in Error; Lowry, Plaintiff in Error, v. State, Defendant in Error
May 13, 196631 Wis. 2d 110
Summary
The court affirmed the defendants' convictions, holding that the evidence, viewed most favorably to the prosecution, was sufficient for a reasonable fact finder to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It also upheld denial of a new trial because the proposed evidence was hearsay as presented, cumulative, impeaching, and unlikely to produce a different verdict, and rejected the warrant challenge as untimely. The court further declined to grant a new trial in the interests of justice because the record did not show a probable miscarriage of justice or likely acquittal.
