State v. Owens

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

Decided March 1, 2016No. 2015AP1118-CRPublished

1Opinion of the CourtBrash, J.

¶ 1. Anthony R. Owens appeals a judgment convicting him of first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime with the use of a dangerous weapon as a repeater, and possession of a firearm by a felon as a repeater. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion. Owens makes the following arguments on appeal: (1) the circuit court erred when it admitted Jamal Pinkard's statements about who shot him as dying declarations; (2) the evidence against Owens was insufficient to support his convictions; and (3) Owens's sentences were unduly harsh. We disagree and affirm.
