Description

1. Luther Wade Cofield appeals from an amended judgment of conviction after a jury found him guilty of kidnapping while armed, one count of first-degree sexual assault, and two counts of second-degree sexual assault, all as a habitual offender. He also appeals from an order denying his motion for post-conviction relief. Cofield contends that the trial court erred in: (1) rejecting the defense request for access to the victims medical records revealing what he considers to be her untruthful statement to medical personnel regarding her cocaine use, and refusing to allow them to be introduced in evidence; and (2) sentencing him to an aggregate ninety-year sentence, despite the fact that the judge from his previous trial sentenced him to only seventy years. We conclude that the trial court did not erroneously exercise discretion in denying Cofields evidentiary motion; thus, we affirm the judgment of conviction. We also conclude, however, that the trial court erred, under State v. Church, 2003 WI 74, __ Wis. 2d __, 665 N.W.2d 141, in imposing an aggregate ninety-year sentence after Cofields successful appeal and retrial; accordingly, we reverse that portion of the post-conviction order and remand for resentencing.
