961.48 Annotation
The trial court erred in imposing a 2nd sentence on a defendant convicted of a 2nd violation of 161.41 (1) (a) and 161.14 (3) (k) [now 961.41 (1) (a) and 961.14 (3) (k)]. While the repeater statute, 161.48 [now 961.48], allows imposition of a penalty not exceeding twice that allowable for a 1st offense, it does not of itself create a crime and cannot support a separate and independent sentence. Olson v. State,
69 Wis. 2d 605,
230 N.W.2d 634.
961.48 Annotation
For offenses under ch. 161 [now 961], the court may apply this section or s. 939.62, but not both. State v. Ray,
166 Wis. 2d 855,
481 N.W.2d 288 (Ct. App. 1992).
961.48 Annotation
In sentencing a defendant when the maximum sentence is doubled under this section, the court considers the same factors it considers in all sentencing, including prior convictions. State v. Canadeo,
168 Wis. 2d 559,
484 N.W.2d 340 (Ct. App. 1992).
961.48 Annotation
Sentencing under this section was improper when the defendant did not admit a prior conviction and the state did not offer proof of one. State v. Coolidge,
173 Wis. 2d 783,
496 N.W.2d 701 (Ct. App. 1993).
961.48 Annotation
Sub. (4) sets forth a limitation on the 2nd or subsequent offense; the previous offense may be any conviction under ch. 161 [now 961]. State v. Robertson,
174 Wis. 2d 36,
496 N.W.2d 221 (Ct. App. 1993).
961.48 Annotation
This section is self-executing; a prosecutor may not prevent the imposition of the sentences under this section by not charging the defendant as a repeater. State v. Young,
180 Wis. 2d 700,
511 N.W.2d 309 (Ct. App. 1993).
961.48 Annotation
Conviction under this section for a second or subsequent offense does not require proof of the prior offense at trial beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Miles,
221 Wis. 2d 56,
584 N.W.2d 704 (Ct. App. 1998).
961.48 Annotation
A conviction for possessing drug paraphernalia under s. 961.573 qualifies as a prior offense under sub. (3). State v. Moline,

Anyone who passes within a zone listed in sub.
