Description
This is a review of that part of a decision of the court of appeals, State v. Pulizzano, 148 Wis. 2d 190, 434 N.W.2d 807 (Ct. App. 1988), which reversed an order and judgment of conviction for four counts of first degree sexual assault contrary to sec. 940.225(1)(d), Stats. 1985-86 entered by the circuit court for Kenosha county, the Honorable David M. Bastian, Judge. The first question is: Was Ms. Pulizzano denied her constitutional rights to confrontation and compulsory process when the circuit court, pursuant to sec. 972.11(2), Stats. 1985-86 (the rape shield law), excluded evidence of a prior sexual assault experienced by one of the four complaining child witnesses, M.D., a seven year old. The second question is: Did the circuit court abuse its discretion when it permitted the prosecutor to argue in closing that because Ms. Pulizzano had been sexually abused as a child, she was more likely to commit the sexual assaults alleged in this case.
