Description
1 Juan C. Perez-Alcantara appeals from the judgment, entered following a jury trial, convicting him of one count of entry into a locked vehicle, contrary to WIS. STAT.943.11 (2003-04).He also appeals from the order denying his post-conviction motion. Perez-Alcantara argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss at the close of the States case because there was insufficient evidence to convict him due to the States failure to prove the fourth element of the offense that he intended to permanently deprive the owner of the use of his vehicle. Because the jury was entitled to disregard Perez-Alcantaras statement that he only "wanted to take [the truck] for a ride," and sufficient circumstantial evidence was admitted at trial that permitted the reasonable inference that he intended to permanently deprive the trucks owner, Jorge Villa, of the use of his truck, this court affirms the trial courts denial of his motion to dismiss. For the same reason, the trial court did not err in denying the post-conviction motion to dismiss.
