State v. Hoyle

Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed Court of Appeals’s grant of new trial, finding that prosecutor did not unlawfully comment on defendant’s exercise of his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. On remand, Court of Appeals rejected defendant’s other bases for overturning his conviction, finding no reasonable probability that newly discovered evidence would have changed the jury’s verdict and evidence the prosecution did not disclose to be immaterial. The Wisconsin high court denied defendant’s subsequent petition for review.
