Universal Citation: WI Stat § 943.87 (2017)
943.87 Robbery of a financial institution. Whoever by use of force or threat to use imminent force takes from an individual or in the presence of an individual money or property that is owned by or under the custody or control of a financial institution is guilty of Class C felony.
History: 2005 a. 212.
The state did not offer direct evidence of the bank's charter, a required element of the crime of robbery of a financial institution. The law does not require either introduction of the charter itself or testimony from a witness with personal knowledge of the charter. Circumstantial evidence may suffice to prove an essential element of the crime charged. State v. Eady, 2016 WI App 12, 366 Wis. 2d 711, 875 N.W.2d 139, 15-0110.
