Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Simply being in a car where drugs are present can indeed sometimes be adequate evidence to support a possession conviction, even if it is unclear who owned the drugs. At trial, the government would probably try to prove that all occupants were parties to the crime, which can alone sometimes support a conviction in WI. Even if I wrote three separate novels on here on appeals, habeas corpus, and the elements proof required for possession with intent, I still could not address your question without knowing all the details of the case. You need to immediately retain an experienced criminal lawyer for the appeal/post conviction proceedings if the current lawyer is no longer representing your husband in these matters. Normally, fee arrangements before trial would not include these things, so you will need to make new arrangements. The time limits for appeal are extremely short.

Do not assume that I am your attorney due to this answer, but feel free to call my office in Racine (262-633-3090 or email [email protected]) for clarifications or further questions. I would not normally be taking any further action on your case without your making additional arrangements. See me on the web at www.jayknixonlaw.com.
