Description
This is a review of an unpublished decision of the court of appeals, State v. Robinson, dated September 22, 1987, which affirmed a judgment and order of the circuit court for Brown county, Alexander R. Grant, circuit Judge. The appeal was from a judgment of conviction of the defendant for first-degree sexual assault under sec. 940.225(1)(b), Stats., and for theft under sec. 943.20(1)(a), Stats. The defendant also appealed the circuit courts order denying his motion for a new trial. Three issues are presented for review. The first issue is whether the circuit court properly excluded evidence of the complainants pregnancy. The second issue is whether the circuit court properly permitted a rape crisis center worker to testify as an expert witness. The third issue is whether a new trial should be granted in the interest of Justice. The court of appeals concluded that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in making its evidentiary rulings and, therefore, affirmed the judgment and order. We affirm the decision of the court of appeals.
