Defenses – “Statutory Double Jeopardy,” § 939.71 – Conviction of Lesser Offense as Bar to Homicide Prosecution following Victim’s Subsequent Death
State v. Trevor McKee, 2002 WI App 148, PFR filed 6/28/02
For McKee: Kenneth P. Casey, SPD, Jefferson Trial
Issue/Holding: Drafters of § 939.71 intended to incorporate general principles of law of double jeopardy as then (1953) existed – which includes the “necessary facts” exception (prosecution of greater not barred by conviction of lesser offense where all facts necessary to conviction of greater had yet to come into existence).
Defenses – “Statutory Double Jeopardy,” § 939.71 – Federal Bank Robbery and State Armed Robbery
State v. Douglas J. Lasky, 2002 WI App 126, PFR filed 5/1
For Lasky: Eileen A. Hirsch, SPD, Madison Appellate
Issue/Holding: The elements of federal bank robbery, 18 USC § 2113(d), and state armed robbery, § 943.32(2), don’t exactly overlap, therefore conviction of former doesn’t bar prosecution of latter under § 939.71. ¶¶18-28.
