CCAP Can't Be Used as Proof of Habitual Criminal Status

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on Friday that “prosecutors shouldn’t use the state’s online criminal record system to prove whether a defendant is a repeat offender.” According to an AP article (appearing in StarTribune.com), “the decision reversed a ruling by the 1st District Court of Appeals, which had rejected Jamale Bonds’ argument the state’s Consolidated Court Automation Programs, or CCAP, were too unreliable to prove he was a habitual criminal.” Source: Legal Dockets Online
