DUE PROCESS
It is not necessary to hold a 2nd Goodchild type hearing before admitting testimony of a 2nd witness to the same confession. State v. Watson, 46 W (2d) 492, 175 NW (2d) 244.
The sentencing duties of a trial court following a 2nd conviction after retrial or upon resentencing bars a trial court from imposing an increased sentence unless events occur or come to the sentencing court's attention subsequent to the first imposition of sentence which warrant an increased penalty and the court affirmatively states the ground for increasing the sentence in the record. Denny v. State, 47 W (2d) 541, 178 NW (2d) 38.
An arrest is not void because of a 3 months' interval between the time of the offense (narcotics sale) and the arrest. Gonzales v. State, 47 W (2d) 548, 177 NW (2d) 843.
A lineup, wherein 2 suspects are required to wear special clothing and where a number of victims were allowed to identify them out loud, thus influencing others, was unfair and later influenced in-court identification. Jones v. State, 47 W (2d) 642, 178 NW (2d) 42.
The fact that a witness is shown one photograph and that defendant's counsel was not present does not prove a denial of due process. Kain v. State, 48 W (2d) 212, 179 NW (2d) 777.
The rule that a defendant during a trial should not be handcuffed does not extend to periods outside the courtroom and the fact that some jurors saw the defendant shackled is not prejudicial. State v. Cassel, 48 W (2d) 619, 180 NW (2d) 607.
It is not a violation of due process for the judge who conducts a hearing as to the admissibility of a confession to continue as trial judge in the case. State v. Cleveland, 50 W (2d) 666, 184 NW (2d) 899.
A statute denying probation to 2nd offenders and which does not require proof of criminal intent is constitutional. State v. Morales, 51 W (2d) 650, 187 NW (2d) 841.
Where a defendant is no longer entitled to a substitution of judge, prejudice in fact of the judge must be shown. State v. Garner, 54 W (2d) 100, 194 NW (2d) 649.
A child committed to the department and who is released under supervision, who then violates the terms of the release is entitled to the same protections as an adult as to a hearing on probation revocation. State ex rel. Bernal v. Hershman, 54 W (2d) 626, 196 NW (2d) 721.
Where defendant, believing he was seriously wounded, began to tell what happened and was then given the Miranda warnings, his further continuation amounted to a waiver of his rights. He need not expressly state that he was waiving them, where the record shows he was conscious and alert and said he understood his rights. State v. Parker, 55 W (2d) 131, 197 NW (2d) 742.
The uniform detainer act (976.05) is unconstitutional in (1) failing to require that the prisoner be notified of his rights, (2) denying him equal protection similar to that afforded prisoners under the criminal extradition act, and (3) not requiring a judicial hearing. The use of a hearing similar to that required under the extradition act would cure the defects. State ex rel. Garner v. Gray, 55 W (2d) 574, 201 NW (2d) 163.
Section 973.05 (1) (permission for delay of 60 days for payment of a fine) and 973.07 (commitment to jail for nonpayment) are not unconstitutional, since the court may stay the sentence and put defendant on probation. The burden of proving inability to pay is on the defendant. State ex rel. Pedersen v. Blessinger, 56 W (2d) 286, 201 NW (2d) 778.
The duty of the state to disclose exculpatory evidence is not excused by the district attorney's belief that the evidence is incredible, but failure to disclose is not error where the evidence would not have affected the conviction. Nelson v. State, 59 W (2d) 474, 208 NW (2d) 410.
A defendant is not subjected to double jeopardy by being charged with both theft and burglary. An acquittal on one charge does not amount to collateral estoppel on the other. Hebel v. State, 60 W (2d) 325, 210 NW (2d) 695.

Circumstances to be considered in determining whether the delay between alleged commission of a crime and arrest denies a defendant due process of law include: (1) The period of the applicable statute of limitations; (2) prejudice to the conduct of the defense; (3) intentional prosecution delay to gain some tactical advantage; and (4) the loss of evidence or witnesses, and the dimming of memories; but the mere possibility of prejudice from these factors is not alone sufficient to demonstrate that a fair trial is impossible—actual prejudice must be shown. State v. Rogers, 70 W (2d) 160, 233 NW (2d) 480.
Photo identification of accused discussed. Mentek v. State, 71 W (2d) 799, 238 NW (2d) 752.
Mere fact that accused who demanded jury trial received a substantially greater sentence than an accomplice who pleaded guilty does not constitute punishment for exercising right to jury trial or denial of either due process or equal protection. Drinkwater v. State, 73 W (2d) 674, 245 NW (2d) 664.
Persons committed under ch. 975 are entitled to periodic review hearings which afford the same minimal requirements of due process as in parole determinations. Habeas corpus is appropriate remedy. State ex rel. Terry v. Schubert, 74 W (2d) 487, 247 NW (2d) 109.

Defendant received fair, although not perfect, trial where prosecution witness attempted to ingratiate self with jury prior to trial and another prosecution witness violated sequestration order. Nyberg v. State, 75 W (2d) 400, 249 NW (2d) 524.
Defendant's refusal to name accomplices was properly considered by sentencing judge. Because defendant had pleaded guilty to crime, self-incrimination would not have resulted from requested cooperation. Holmes v. State, 76 W (2d) 259, 251 NW (2d) 56.
Parole revocation hearing is not part of a criminal prosecution and thus the full panoply of rights, including Miranda warnings and the exclusionary rule, are not applicable. State ex rel. Struzik v. H&SS Dept. 77 W (2d) 216, 252 NW (2d) 660.
Due process does not require that a person know with certainty which crime, among several, the person is committing, at least until the prosecution exercises its discretion under 939.65. Harris v. State, 78 W (2d) 357, 254 NW (2d) 291.
Due process rationale of Doyle v. Ohio, 426 US 610 (1976) is limited to prosecutorial use of defendants' custodial interrogation silence to impeach exculpatory statements made during trial. Rudolph v. State, 78 W (2d) 435, 254 NW (2d) 471.

Probationer's due process right to prompt revocation proceedings was not triggered where probationer was detained as result of unrelated criminal proceedings. State ex rel. Alvarez v. Lotter, 91 W (2d) 329, 283 NW (2d) 408 (Ct. App. 1979).
Before "totality of circumstances" analysis is applied to confrontation identification, it must first be determined whether police deliberately contrived confrontation between witness and defendant. State v. Marshall, 92 W (2d) 101, 284 NW (2d) 592 (1979).
Due process requires that evidence reasonably supports finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt. State v. Stawicki, 93 W (2d) 63, 286 NW (2d) 612 (Ct. App. 1979).

Exculpatory hearsay lacked assurances of trustworthiness and was properly excluded. State v. Brown, 96 W (2d) 238, 291 NW (2d) 528 (1980).
Use of unsworn prior inconsistent statement of a witness as substantive evidence did not deprive criminal defendant of due process. Vogel v. State, 96 W (2d) 372, 291 NW (2d) 838 (1980).
Inmate in administrative confinement has state-created interest protected by due process in inmate's eventual return to general prison population. State ex rel. Irby v. Israel, 100 W (2d) 411, 302 NW (2d) 517 (Ct. App. 1981).

Revocation of probation was denial of due process by lack of notice of total extent and nature of alleged violations of probation. State ex rel. Thompson v. Riveland, 109 W (2d) 580, 326 NW (2d) 768 (1982).

Due process requires state to preserve evidence which (1) possesses exculpatory value apparent to custodian and (2) is of such nature that defendant would be unable to obtain comparable evidence by other reasonably available means. State v. Oinas, 125 W (2d) 487, 373 NW (2d) 463 (Ct. App. 1985).
Where 2 statutes have identical criminal elements but different penalties, state does not deny equal protection or due process by charging defendants with the more serious crime. State v. Cissel, 127 W (2d) 205, 378 NW (2d) 691 (1985).
If state shows that delay in charging offense committed by adult defendant while still a juvenile was not with manipulative intent, due process does not require dismissal. State v. Montgomery, 148 W (2d) 593, 436 NW (2d) 303 (1989).

Where prior convictions are used to enhance minimum penalty, collateral attack of prior convictions must be allowed. State v. Baker, 165 W (2d) 42, 477 NW (2d) 292 (Ct. App. 1991).
Defense of outrageous governmental conduct may arise where the government violates a specific constitutional right and was itself so enmeshed in the criminal activity that prosecution of the defendant would be repugnant to the criminal justice system. State v. Hyndman, 170 W (2d) 198, 488 NW (2d) 111 (Ct. App. 1992).
Where the argument of the defense invited and provoked an otherwise improper remark of the prosecutor, the question is whether, taken in context, the "invited remark" unfairly prejudiced the defendant. State v. Wolff, 171 W (2d) 161, 491 NW (2d) 498 (Ct. App. 1992).
Due process is not violated when a burden of production is placed on a defendant to come forward with some evidence of a negative defense. State v. Pettit, 171 W (2d) 627, 492 NW (2d) 633 (Ct. App. 1992).

The admissibility of an out-of-court identification rests on whether the procedure was impermissibly suggestive and whether under all the circumstances the identification was reliable despite any suggestiveness; that another procedure might have been better does not render the identification inadmissible.

A defendant has a fundamental right to testify in his or her own behalf; waiver of the right must be supported by a record of a knowing and voluntary waiver. State v. Wilson, 179 W (2d) 660, 508 NW (2d) 44 (Ct. App. 1993).
An executory plea bargain is without constitutional significance and a defendant has no right to require the performance of an executory agreement, but upon entry of a plea due process requires the defendant's expectations to be fulfilled. State v. Wills, 187 W (2d) 528, 523 NW (2d) 569 (Ct. App. 1994).
The good or bad faith of police in destroying apparently exculpatory evidence is irrelevant, but in absence of bad faith, destruction of evidence which only provides an avenue of investigation does not violate due process protections. State v. Greenwold, 181 W (2d) 881, 512 NW (2d) 237 (Ct. App. 1994). Bad faith can only be shown if the officers were aware of the potentially exculpatory value of evidence they fail to preserve, and the officers must have acted with animus or made a conscious effort to suppress the evidence. State v. Greenwold, 189 W (2d) 59, 525 NW (2d) 294 (Ct. App. 1994).
A prosecutor's closing argument is impermissible where it goes beyond reasoning drawn from the evidence and suggests that the verdict should be arrived at by considering other factors.

Neuser, 191 W (2d) 131, 528 NW (2d) 49 (Ct. App. 1995).
