Description
1 The State of Wisconsin requests review of a published decision of the court of appeals, State v. Smith, 2004 WI App 116, 275 Wis. 2d 204, 685 N.W.2d 821. The court of appeals reversed a judgment of the circuit court for Green County, the Honorable James R. Beer, presiding, convicting Timothy Smith, Sr. of two felony counts of failure to pay child support, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 948.22(2) (2001-02). The State argues that the court of appeals erred in concluding that the circuit court violated the constitutional principles articulated in United States v. Gaudin, 515 U.S. 506 (1995), by declining to submit a question to the jury on whether child support was ordered by a "court of competent jurisdiction," as used in § 948.22(1)(a). The State also argues that the court of appeals erred in concluding that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in admitting a copy of a certified copy of a Maine courts child support order.
