Description
MYSE, J. Sherideane Peters appeals a judgment of conviction for six crimes, including: one count of kidnapping, contrary to ร§ 940.31(1)(b), STATS.; two counts of first-degree sexual assault, contrary to ร§ 940.225(1)(b); one count of armed robbery, contrary to ร§ 943.32(1)(b) and (2), STATS.; one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide while using a dangerous weapon, contrary to ร§ร§ 940.01(1), 939.32(1)(a) and 939.63, STATS.; and one count of mayhem, contrary to ร§ 940.21. Peters contends that his conviction should be reversed and the cause remanded because: (1) the evidence of the statistical probability that his DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) matched the DNA of the perpetrator was unreliable; (2) the DNA evidence violated his right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; (3) the trial court erred by admitting other crimes evidence; and (4) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion by imposing an unduly excessive sentence. We reject Peters arguments and affirm the judgment.
