Description
NETTESHEIM, J. Thomas William Koeppen appeals from a judgment of conviction for bail jumping and disorderly conduct pursuant to §§ 946.49(1)(a) and 947.01, STATS., and from an order denying postconviction relief. Koeppen was sentenced as a repeat offender pursuant to §§ 939.62(2) and 973.12(1), STATS. 1 Koeppen raises two appellate issues: (1) the trial court improperly allowed a midtrial amendment to the criminal information, and (2) the trial court improperly employed judicial notice to establish his repeater status. We hold that the court properly allowed the amendment. Therefore, we affirm that portion of the judgment reciting Koeppen's convictions. However, because Koeppen's prior convictions were not properly established at the sentencing hearing, we hold that the court erred by later judicially noticing the convictions at a postsentencing hearing. We therefore reverse the repeater portions of the sentences and commute them to the maximum permitted for the underlying offenses. We remand for entry of a judgment reflecting the proper sentences.
