Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Attempted Murder, Wis. Stats. sect. 939.32), Victim Fails to Appear

Attempted Murder, Wis. Stats. sect. 939.32), There are many ways of proving a crime without a victim's testimony--such testimony is not ever required even if it is commonly used. Otherwise, there would never be any completed homicide convictions, since such victims obviously cannot ever testify in those situations. If the state can prove their case beyond any reasonable doubt to the unanimous satisfaction of a 12 person jury, the defendant will be convicted. If not, he will eventually be released from the charges. You need to retain an experienced criminal lawyer as soon as possible--I cannot give you legal advice here.
