State of Wisconsin, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Justin Pharr, Defendant-Appellant-Petitioner

Summary

The court affirmed the conviction, holding that the record independently supported admission of evidence concerning the subsequent shooting at a police officer. That evidence was relevant to show a common escape plan and the defendant's participation in the charged shooting, and its probative value was not substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient to support both the conviction and the preliminary-hearing bindover because the shooting was a natural and probable consequence of the planned robbery.
