Manitowoc County teen's appeal in relative's death in court's hands

The appeal of a teen convicted in the death of his cousin by beating him and stuffing him in a snowbank is now in the hands of the state appeals court.

June 15, 2023
MANITOWOC (WLUK) - The appeal of a teenager convicted of causing the death of his 7-year-old cousin by beating him and stuffing him in a snowbank is now in the hands of the state appeals court.
[.....]
Damian Hauschultz is appealing his conviction, arguing that due to his age - 14 at the time - he could not voluntarily waive his Miranda rights, and he felt unduly pressured by police to confess.

Prosecutors have opposed the motions. Juvenile justice advocate groups from across the country have joined in Hauschultz's defense.

The latest move in the case came Thursday, when Hauschultz's attorney filed their final reply brief with the appeals court.

The 17-page argument contends the trial court erred in allowing his statements to be used.
[.....]
His defense team plans to call Damian as a witness, to testify in support of an expected argument that Tim's punishment order did not include causing Ethan's death. However, Damian's attorney will not let him testify while his case remains pending.

At a hearing last week, Manitowoc County Judge Jerilyn Dietz said she anticipates setting a trial date at an Aug. 17 hearing. She noted concerns the case is already five years old, and finding the needed time on the court’s calendar means a trial date may not be available until 2024.

Appeals court upholds Damian Hauschultz's conviction, clearing way for father's trial

His appeal argued because the teen did not feel free to end the questioning by police, his self-incriminatory statements were not voluntarily made.

fox11online.com

Mar. 13, 2024
MANITOWOC (WLUK) – Damian Hauschultz’s conviction for the death of his 7-year-old cousin stands, an appeals court ruled Wednesday. The decision clears the way for Tim Hauschultz, Damian’s father, to be tried on felony murder charges for allegedly ordering the punishment which led to the death of Ethan Hauschultz.
[.....]
Damian Hauschultz, now 20, pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, plus 10 years of extended supervision.

Damian Hauschultz's appeal argued because the teen did not feel free to end the questioning by police, his self-incriminatory statements were not voluntarily made, and should not have been allowed as evidence.

In a 28-page decision, the appeals court rejected his arguments.
[.....]
While Damian Hauschultz’s appeal has been pending for more than two years, his attorneys have said he would not be available to testify at Timothy Hauschultz’s trial, leading to repeated delays in setting a trial date for his father. Currently, Tim Hauschultz is scheduled to stand trial June 18.
