Continuation of Motion Hearing. State's Motion Concerning Third-Party Liability a/k/a "Denny" motion - Court's understanding of what the parties are arguing is that should the defense intend to introduce any evidence that a person other than Dassey helped commit the crime they will have to follow the proper procedure; should they seek to introduce evidence that items were planted or framed they will need to seek admissiblity before trial and third the defense is not prohibited from arguing different inferences as to how things may have happened.

Defendant's Post-Hearing Memorandum Supporting Suppression of Marinette County Statements.

Defendant in custody. DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS ON GROUNDS THAT STATE HAS MADE A TRIAL IN MANITOWOC COUNTY IMPOSSIBLE - The Court finds that much of the information was already contained in the complaint. The news conference did not lead to disclosure of any information that would not have been disclosed anyway. The publicity occurred many months before the scheduled trial date. The Court finds that a fair and impartial jury could be found in Manitowoc County and denies this motion. STIPULATION REGARDING VENUE AND TRIAL SCHEDULE - The parties present the Court with a stipulation and order which states that the parties agree that the jury trial will be rescheduled and will commence on 02-05-07, lasting about six weeks, that the jury trial be physically held at the Calumet County Courthourse and that the jury pool will be selected from Manitowoc County. The parties jointly ask the Court to accept this stipulation. The defendant agrees with the terms contained in the stipulation. The Court accepts the stipulation. Jury selection will take place in Manitowoc County and then the trial will move to Calumet County. MOTION TO EXCLUDE MANITOWOC COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FROM TESTIFYING AND OVERSEEING JURORS - Based on the stipulation which has been accepted, the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department will have no contact with prospective jurors and therefore, this portion of the motion is now mute. The Court finds that no order was violated with the airing of the two part news article in May on which the Manitowoc County Sheriff made statements. The report was a one time news segment which was made nine months prior to when the trial is now scheduled to being. The Court denies this motion The Court now enters an order that members of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department or the Calumet County Sheriff's Department and the defendant, Steven Avery, refrain from making any statements regarding this case until the conclusion of this case. Defense to draft order.

ORAL RULING ON MOTIONS CONTINUED - STATE'S MOTION TO ADMIT STATEMENTS OF TERESA HALBACH MADE TO CO-WORKERS - The Court finds that the statement would have to be relevant before they could be admitted. Ms. Halbach's state of mind could be relevant, but marginal. Based on the current state of the record, the Court can't determine at this point if the statements are relevant or not. The statements made by Teresa Halbach are not testimonial and are not admissible. MOTION TO SUPPRESS FRUITS OF SEARCH WARRANT THAT VIOLATED FRANKS VS. DELAWARE - The Court finds that if Pamela Sturm and her daughter were acting as agents of law enforcement, it could be possible to suppress, but there is no evidence of that. Also, Detective Remiker being present on the property did not violate the defendant's expectation of privacy. There is no basis to delete Sturm's discovery from Detective Wiegert's affidavit for the warrant and the information provided by Detective Remiker is also appropriately included in the affidavit and the affidavit of Detective Wiegert was sufficient for issuance of the 11-05-05 search warrant. Motion is denied. The Court and the parties go through the inventory of oustanding motions and where they are at. Attorney Strang perceives that some further motions, other that motions in limine, may need to be filed. As the Dassey case proceeds, it may affect this case is some way. Scheduling conference is set for 10-19-06 at 10:00 a.m. The Court will draft the orders regarding the motions.

Stipulation on Jailhouse Media Interviews.

Order Concerning Pretrial Motions. For the reasons stated on the record on 08-22-06, the Court hereby orders as follows: 1. The defendant's motion to dismiss on grounds the State has made the trial in Manitowoc County impossible is denied. 2. The defendant's motion to exclude Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department from testifying is denied. 3. The State's motion to admit statements of Teresa Halbach to co-workers is denied as it relates to statements of her state of mind. The Court reserves ruling on any such statements related to present sense impressions, which may be admissible as exceptions to the hearsay rule subject to proper foundation, relevance, and probative value. 4. The defendant's motion challenging the November 5, 2005 search warrant on the basis it was obtained as a result of intentionally false or reckless statements is denied.

State's Proposed Jury Instructions.

Defendant in custody. STATE'S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER State is asking to be relieved from the pretrial order regarding expert witness disclosure because of more testing. Defense does not object as it is related to the blood vial. State does not want it only to the blood vial, but may also include lay witnesses as to placement and access. Court will grant the request as it is framed. STATE'S DEMAND FOR COMPLIANCE WITH DISCOVERY REQUEST Counsel argue their position. Court believes the defense has adequately explained its position as to what a witness may testify to because they may or may not call these witnesses. Court further finds that some of the information has been met and some may fall short. Court cannot say with specificity what defense may do, but finds it fall short with compliance and grants the State's motion. DEFENSE MOTION FOR DISCLOSURE OF EXCULPATORY INFORMATION Counsel have a lengthy discussion regarding this motion. Court notes that Attorney Strang is correct, there is not much the court can do today, but the parties agree that evdience that is exculpatory needs to be turned over per statute. Court is not going to issue any ruling on the motion at this time. This appears to be a work in progress. DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO EXCLUDE COMPUTER-GENERATED ANIMATIONS State is looking to present a virtual tour of the Avery property and buildings and curtilage. The second a FBI showing of where the possibility of bones recovered, and third representation of the victims vehicle recovered. The only thing the court needs to find is if it shows a fair representation of the events. The State will offer at trial or before an offer of proof as to these DVD's as demonstrative evidence. These will be presented in the State's case in chief and is giving them as a courtesy to defense to speed up the trial. Neither party is asking the Court to make a ruling today because the Court has not seen it.

Continued... Court notes there is a stipulation regarding the exclusion of witnesses at trial. There is a joint stipulation of counsel which has been drafted. EVIDENTIARY MOTIONS - MOTION TO PRECLUDE 3RD PARTY LIABILITY EVIDENCE State moves to conduct an in-camera inspection because there will be a great deal of discussion of facts, some of the facts may not be heard by the jury, especially with this close in time with jury selection to begin and not to contaminate the jury pool. Defense does not oppose the in-camera hearing. Court notes the general rule that is that court proceedings are public but in certain proceedings the court can be closed. There are circumstances that warrant in this situation, this case has received extensive media coverage. Some information may become highly prejudicial and threaten the fairness of trial if this motion is to be argued in an open courtroom. Court will conduct an in-camera out of view of the public. State asks for compliance with discovery be completed within three days. Court orders it to be completed by 01-24-07. State has proposed jury instructions to present to the Court as well as images and power point demonstration to include in its opening. Court notes both sides are free to supplement jury instructions. Court closes the courtroom to the public to have an in-camera hearing. DENNY MOTION- DEFENSE STATEMENT ON THIRD PARTY LIABILITY AND PLANTED BLOOD VIAL ISSUE Defense counsel wishes to exclude the two Manitowoc County Deputies in the courtroom based on what they may hear.

Defendant's Amended Disclosure of Expert Witness Dr. Alan Friedman.

Defendant's Motion to Exclude State Expert Witness Testimony, and Motion to Compel Disclosure of Potentially Exculpatory Evidence.

Defendant in custody. Second Day of Individual Voir Dire State wants to put on the record that he has provided defense counsel with four new images that he intends to use in his opening statement. He does not know if there will be an objection by the defense but did want to put him on notice. Defense counsel acknowledges receipt of the new images and concedes that an evidentiary hearing will have to be held before opening statements are made. Attorney Fallon states counsel have a joint agreement to strike for cause the following jurors No. 44, 37, and 39. Attorney Strang joins in the agreement. Court will review the questionnaires with that understanding. Eleven more jurors questioned with seven remaining as possible jurors.

Defendant in custody. Third Day of Individual Voir Dire Court will grant the joint recommendation of counsel to strike jurors No. 44, 37, and 39 for cause. Court is going to impose a twenty minute time limit on each side to move things along. Counsel object to it. Court is going to stick with it. Counsel move to strike juror No. 51, 61, 63, 70, and 73. Court will strike these jurors for cause. Eleven more jurors questioned with six remaining as possible jurors.

Decision and Order on Defendant's Motion Concerning Courtroom Security. Court concludes that other than the severity of the charges, there is no reason to authorize the use of any type of physical restraint on the defendant in this case during the trial and the court will therefore not order the issuance of any such restraint. There will be two armed deputies nearby as is customary in cases of this type and there is no reason to believe that level of security will not be sufficient.

Defendant in custody. Fourth Day of Individual Voir Dire Court asks counsel about jurors 75 and 77 being pre-struck for cause. Counsel note that juror No. 75 may have been struck by the court and 77 on the record. Court notes Juror 75 was excused by the court earlier due to an illness problem there was no mention regarding juror No. 77. Counsel have a joint recommendation to strike for cause juror No. 77 and No. 78. No 77 for current arrest history and No. 78 on subjective bias. Court has reviewed their questionnaires and concurs with counsel, those jurors will be excused for cause. Juror No. 13 who was selected yesterday as a possible juror contacted the court stating financial hardship to serve as juror. Counsel agree to strike her for cause. Court will excuse this juror. Twelve more jurors questioned with nine remaining as possible jurors. Court has reached its 30 juror panel will conclude for the day to resume tomorrow for preemptory challenges of counsel at 9:00 a.m. Court will then break to resume in Calumet County for motions at 1:00 p.m.

Defendant in custody. Thirty jurors present in courtroom. Counsel each make seven preemptory challenges alternately and the following jurors remain to served on the jury. No. 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 18, 19, 24, 35, 41, 52, 54, 67, 71, 74, and 76. Attorney Strang has a motion to raise the Baston issue as to juror 30. State responds they struck this juror because they believe he lied on his questionnaire as well as his young age and/or lack of work experience. Court reviewed Batson, the first question to deal with is does the defendant have to be a member of a minority race to raise the issue of Batson. Court notes this is not the case. Second the State needs to articulate the reasoning for the preemptory challenge. Court finds that the State has articulated a sufficient reason to strike this juror. Court is satisfied that they have met their burden of proof and denies defense counsel's motion. Attorney Buting believes there may be some confusion regarding the court's order regarding the vial of blood. It was his understanding that defense would get half the blood in the vial and half the blood stains in the RAV4. Attorney Gahn is not sure there is an argument here or not, he will call the FBI and have an answer for counsel. At 10:55 a.m. the sixteen jurors are brought into the courtroom. Court admonishes the jurors not to discuss this case with anyone , not to watch local news, radio, read the paper unless it has been screened for them and not to research on the internet. They are free to go home and will report for jury duty on Monday morning in Calumet County. Courtroom Jury List with 30 names of jurors and preemptory challenges of counsel.

Exhibit 3, DVD with final version of animations. Exhibit 4, report images 4 x 6 prints.

Continuation of Motion Hearing. Testimony of Tim Austin, Trooper Wisconsin State Patrol. Defense counsel does not believe there is a problem with the skeletal model and will probably withdraw his motion regarding that. As for the Avery property that is a little more problematic because things can be taken out or put in. He believes that a photograph is more accurate. State argues this is demonstrative evidence and asks the court to adopt them. Court comments at this point court does not have enough evidence to know what role it would play. Court would like a foundation before admission. Defense states the photographs which State wishes to use in his opening are not objectionable. As for computer animations there is one of the interior of the garage which will be replaced with a photograph. Court has been given a draft of the original preliminary instructions which he intends to give to the jury before trial. Court asks counsel if there are any they wish to add or changes to be made to e-mail him this weekend and he will respond. Defense counsel informs the Court that they will be stipulating to the second element of felon in possession of firearm.

Jury Trial Day One Defendant in custody. Defense counsel stipulates to the second element of count 3, of the Second Amended Information. Defendant intends to stipulate that he has been convicted of a felony before 11-05-05. Court accepts the stipulation of Mr. Avery regarding the second element. State has made a request of the court to delete the language of Brendan Dassey in its opening instructions and replace it with the language another. Defense objects.

Jury Trial Day Three Defendant in custody. Testimony presented. Defense counsel raises the issue that a witness Bobby Dassey made a statement in court that on 11-03-05 when he was in the presence of a Mike in his garage Steven came over and asked them if they wanted to help him get rid of the body. Bobby thought Steven was joking. Defense indicates they have no written summary of an interview where Bobby Dassey made this statement. He does have a statement of a Mike Osmunson stating on 11-10-05 he was with Dassey and Steven came over and this statement was made, but he thought it was a joke. Page 259 of police report. Defense counsel moves for mistrial. State objects there were several ways the defense could have dealt with this. Defense concedes they did not interview Bobby Dassey and the remedy is not to recall the witness and repeat the statement over and over before the jury but the remedy is for mistrial Court is confident that discovery has been complied with, but the Court also believes that defense is entitled to have adequate time to cross-examine the witness and attempt to attack the statement. Court will have the State make this witness available to recall at a later date after he has more time to digest the statement or post-pone his cross examination. Parties have agreed to take a witness out of order. The defense has asked to defer its cross-examination of Bobby Dassey until tomorrow to allow them to interview him. Court has denied the motion for mistrial, but has agreed to allow the defense to interview the witness. Exhibit 37, photograph of Steven Avery trailer with burn barrel.

Attorney Strang brings up exhibit 28 which is a statement of JoEllen Zipperer. This was marked only to help refresh her memory. The State feels that it should be admitted and offers it at this time. The defense objects. The Court comments and does not receive exhibit 28.

At this time, the State would like to know if the defense is abandoning the theory of defense that Sgt. Colborn and Lt. Lenk planted evidence in this case. Both these witnesses have been on the stand and nothing about planting evidence was asked. Attorney Strang feels that this request is way to premature since the defense has not even gotten to their case in chief. The Court understands that the defense is not abandoning this theory at this point and if they decide to, they will notify the State.

Jury Trial - Day Nine Defendant in custody. Testimony presented. Court takes up a matter that was brought to his attention yesterday by the jury bailiff. A juror passed on information that she was a juror in the case of Det. Dave Remiker. She did not recognize the name but recognized him on the stand. State would like the juror individually voir dired. Defense wants the juror struck for cause. Court believes it is necessary to conduct individual voir dire, this portion of the proceedings will remain open to the public but will be void of any audio or video coverage. Court further asks the media not to identify the juror. Court finds this particular juror to be very credible for particular reasons, she did not have to report the fact she had been on a jury seven years ago with one of the witnesses in this case, court finds given the facts there isn't any reason why a person who was a juror seven years ago cannot serve on this trial. Court denies the motion to strike for cause. Exhibit 220, photograph of box and shell casings from scene. Exhibit 230, photograph of Suzuki Samari. Exhibit 231, photograph of Suzuki and snowmobile.

Jury Trial - Day Ten Defendant in custody. Court wants to make a further record of the side bar held with counsel yesterday during the individual voir dire of juror. Court states his reasons for his decision not to strike this juror from the panel yesterday. Court was notified earlier today that a close family member of one of the jurors has died. That juror has asked leave to attend the funeral which is out of state. Court has excused this juror. Defense renews his motion to strike the juror from yesterday. Court notes the objection for the record. Defense wishes to renew his motion to suppress based on the search of Steven Averys premises. Court is not going to rule on this matter since all the testimony is not in regarding the burn barrel. Testimony presented. Exhibit 288, Daisy Fuentes Jeans.

Defendant's Motion for Sequential Independent Testing and Funding. Affidavit of Dean A. Strang. (Ordered Sealed)

Jury Trial - Day Twelve Defendant in custody. Defense moves to suppress and move to strike any testimony regarding the bullet labeled FL by the crime lab. Defense filed a motion on 03-07-06 for Fair Forensic Testing. Not only did the crime lab bring in new trainees to observe this testing but they could have notified the defense to allow them to have an expert there as well. Ms. Culhane used the sample all up, destroying the DNA making it unable for the defense to retest. State asks for time to reply to this motion, having just been notified about it now. Court will take the renewal of this motion under advisement at this time. Testimony presented. Exhibit 349, photograph of Steven Avery. Exhibit 350, photograph of Allan Avery.

Attorney Kratz indicates that witnesses will be called prior to the end of the State's case which will help clear this matter up.

Defendant's Reply in Support of Motion for Sequential Independent Testing and Funding.

Defendant in custody. Jury Trial - Day Sixteen State's Motion to Admit EDTA Test Results. State will make an offer of proof and defense will respond. No jury is present today. Testimony presented. Exhibit 433, cirricullum vitae of Dr. Marc LeBeau. Exhibit 434, standard operating procedure for conducting test of dried blood. Exhibit 436, article dated November/December 1997 from toxicology manual. Exhibit 437, article dated August, 1997 from Journal Analytical Chemistry. Exhibit 435, copy of lab report issued by Dr. LeBeau for this case. Exhibit 438, declaration made by Dr. LeBeau in another case involving EDTA.

Exhibit 445, list of products that contain EDTA. Exhibit 446, white binder with lab sheets and reports. Court finds that the State has met its burden of proof and will grant the motion to allow the doctor to testify. Defense counsel asks the court to reconsider its decision based on admissiblity of expert testimony. Court will deny the request to reconsider its decision. Court gives his rulings on the defense Motion for Sequential Independent Testing. Court finds the defense knew about the blood vial long before the State. Should the defense wish to pursue testing, they could have disclosed the knowledge of the blood long before they did. Court finds the defense motion for sequential independent testing and funding must be denied. The reasons are the defense had adequate time if it wanted it tested. Court does not find that the FBI was the only lab or only qualified lab to do the testing in this type of matter.

Jury Trial - Day Sixteen (Continued) The motion to adjourn the trial for extended period of months is simply not practical nor could the jurors have a meaningful memory of the testimony previously heard. There is no practical reason to grant a mistrial. Bottom line, both parties had opportunity to pursue testing, the defense did not do that. Court directs the State to file an order on the courts ruling today.

Order Granting State's Motion to Admit EDTA Test Results and Denial of Defendant's Motion for Mistrial and Continuance for Sequential Testing. It is ordered that for the reasons articulated on the record on March 5, 2007: 1) The State's motion to admit EDTA test results through Dr. Marc LaBeau from the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia and permit expert testimony in the State's case in chief is granted. 2) That the defendant's motion for mistrial and continuance for sequential EDTA testing is denied.

Jury Trial - Day Nineteen Defendant in custody. Jury not present. Court first states that the exhibits are to be addressed with the Clerk during the break. Next there was an objection made by the defense on 02-27-07 regarding telephone records and voice mail messages. Defense states that after yesterdays testimony from the employee of Cingular the evidence he wanted to get in, got in so he no longer has an objection. On 02-23-07 there was a motion made by defense renewing defense motion regarding multiple entries on the search warrant. Counsel argue that motion again. Defense has a motion now that the State has rested in its case in chief. Defense moves the court for judgment of acquittal on the now four counts remaining and dismissal on all four counts. Defense believes that a reasonable verdict of guilty cannot be found. State responds to the argument and asks the court at this time to deny the motion for acquittal or dismissal. Third there was a renewed motion made by the defense for fair forensic testing. Defense argues that there could have been contamination or all the evidence would be used up. Defense had asked for their expert to be there. Defense believes there is a showing of bad faith on the part of the State. Defense is asking for item FL to be suppressed or in an alternative the State resisted to turn over contamination logs, second the item was consumed, and third the State withheld evidence that the Wisconsin Crime Lab had a recorded history of contaminations. State responds it would be so burdensome to stop at every testing to notify defense attorney's that it is taking place and wait for their expert. State asks the court to deny the motion for the reasons there was nothing exculpatory, there is evidence available for testing and as for the bullet the extract can be tested. Court is going to do more examination on the motions argued today and give a decision at 8:30 a.m. on Monday before the jury.

Jury Trial - Day Nineteen Continued. Counsel go over the exhibits they want offered into evidence. At 1:41 p.m. jury present. Defense begins with their case. Testimony presented. Court recesses at 4:30 p.m. to continue tomorrow.

Defendant in custody. Jury Trial - Day Twenty-Two Court holds the instruction conference with counsel. State finds the instructions are submitted are acceptable but wants to be heard on defense theory of defense instruction. Defense argues. Court believes the defense has introduced circumstantial evidence into the record that supports the giving of theory of defense instruction. Instruction 315 which involves the defendants right to testify can only be included if requested by the defense. Defense counsel does request this instruction. Court will include it. Counsel have further discussion regarding possible instructions. The jury verdicts have been provided to counsel and both sides find them acceptable. Defense counsel wishes to renew the motion involving a juror on today's panel and one who sat on a juror panel involving a case with Det. Remiker. He believes that this juror is objectively biased because this juror has sat now and before on a case where credibility was an issue. Court has already ruled on that this juror is not subjectively biased and this is not at issue today. Court finds the juror to be a very credible juror and she was very forthright about coming forward with this knowledge. Court denies the motion and finds that she not be removed from this jury on the basis for subjective or objective bias.

Defendant's Motion for New Trial Defendant in custody. Court has received and reviewed the defendant's motion for a new trial as well as the State's response to the defendant's motion, specifically addressing issue one. Court has not been able to locate any case in Wisconsin where decisions have been overturned on inconsistent verdict, therefore he finds there is no basis in Wisconsin Law to challenge inconsistent verdicts on a homicide charge as it relates to a mutilation charge. Issue Two - Three Unfounded Counts - Court is not going to address this matter in detail because he dealt with it during the course of the trial. Issue Three - Denial of Mid-Trial Motion to Strike Juror for Cause - Court stands by its decision made during the trial. Issue Four - Denial of Batson Challenge - Court is not going to elaborate on this, the decision to strike was not improper. Issue Five - Exclusion of Debra Kakatsch Testimony - Court found the probative issue was outweighed by the positive issue. Calumet County was brought in almost immediately by Manitowoc County. Court also found that her testimony would have been what she would have done, which the court found to be a waste of time. Issue Six - Marc LeBeau's Testimony - This issue was thoroughly addressed during the course of the trial. Court is not criticizing either side for not testing EDTA sooner. The decision not to test was the defendant's choice. Issue Seven - Other Errors - Court finds no reason to re-address these issues at this time. These matters may be issues for appeal. Court denies defendant's motion for new trial at this time for all the reasons stated.

Defendant's Memorandum on Brendan Dassey Statements.

Defendant in custody. Court states the charges the defendant has been found guilty and convicted of. He states what the possible penalties are for the charges. Court has also received the presentence investigation report completed by DOC. Copy of the report have been provided to counsel. Attorney Buting argues regarding the Court using the statements of Brendan Dassey against this defendant based on their reliability. The defense believes these statements to be untrue and unreliable. Defense asks the court to take no consideration of anything in the presentence report that refers to how Teresa Halbach died based on Brendan Dassey's statement. He is further asking that the presentence investigation be re-written absent all the facts relating to Brendan Dassey. It would be a violation of Mr. Avery's due rights for the court to consider them. Attorney Kratz responds, defense counsel is entitled to their own opinion on the validity of the statements. State argues that the defendant was convicted with overwhelming circumstantial evidence. State is asking the court to consider the defendant's own criminal history and actions for purposes of sentencing. State further believes the Court has no authority to order a presentence investigation to be re-written. Attorney Buting responds it is not a matter of personal opinion, but a matter of due process. He believes the Court does have the authority to order the presentence report to be re-written since it is the court that orders it. State is only asking the court to consider the evidence presented at trial. State is not asking the court to consider the statements made by Mr. Dassey in the presentence. Court notes for the record that the defendant disputes what happened according to the account by Brendan Dassey. Court will further take the request under advisement about the re-writing of the presentence report since that is a request that has not been presented to him before.

Sentencing hearing continued. Court states he has read the attachments attached to the presentence investigation report. State will be presenting five individuals for victim/impact statements. 1) Maria Halbach, makes a statement to the court. 2) Kari Lau, Teresa's cousin, makes a statement to the court. 3) Rhonda Behnke, Teresa's cousin, makes a statement to the court. 4) Mike Halbach, Teresa's brother, makes a statement to the court. 5) Tim Halbach, Teresa's brother, makes a statement to the court. State presents a video made by Teresa Halbach. Court informs all parties that this is a court of law and that any outbursts will result in removal from the courtroom and possible arrest. Court wishes to express his apologies to the Halbach family and how they have handled themselves with dignity and respect. Court states this case is unique, this is the longest criminal trial in history of this county and has received a huge amount of media coverage. State is asking for the life sentence without parole; defense is asking for the court to leave the door open and the presentence investigation report recommends life without parole. Court believes the circumstantial evidence was more than overwhelming to convict the defendant of this offense. The defendant has readily been involved in criminal activity when not incarcerated. Court believes this defendant to be the most dangerous criminal to step foot into this courtroom. What he sees is that society will never be safe from his behavior. Society has a right to be concerned that he will re-offend. Court concludes the defendant should not be free again. On PTC 1st degree intentional homicide the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility for extended supervision.

Sentencing continued. On the Felon possessing firearm - Defendant is sentenced to the Wisconsin State Prison System for ten (10) years. Five (5) years initial confinement followed by five (5) years extended supervision, to run concurrent with the PTC 1st degree intentional homicide. Based on the courts ruling on the first sentence, he will not set any conditions of extended supervision. Defendant is entitled to sentence credit for 568 days from 11-09-05 to present. Court further informs the defendant he is ineligible to vote and files with him a written explanation of determinate sentence. DVD of Teresa Halbach played at sentencing.
