The DA states that it moved to dismiss the gun-related charges because the evidence would not have been as strong at retrial, since Awadallah was not available to establish chain of custody. That, and the possibility that Missouri evidence would be admitted, raised the question of whether the State could prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, the claimant had served most, if not all, of his maximum sentence. Therefore, the state moved to dismiss the outstanding charges.
The DA believes the claimant has failed to meet the standard of providing clear and convincing evidence that he was innocent and recommends denial of this claim.
The Board defers decision of the claim at this time so that the claimant can be made available to attending a hearing.
The Board concludes:
That the following identified claimants are denied:
TRC Engineers, Inc.
Robert Steinway
Regenial Hoskins
Sandra Klemm
Elbert Compton
Jerome T. Walker (2 claims)
That the following identified claimants are denied:
Raynard R. Jackson
That payment of the amounts below to the identified claimants from the following statutory appropriations is justified under § 775.05, Stats: Dated at Madison, Wisconsin this 31st day of June, 2013.
