STATE of Wisconsin, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. John C. OUTLAW, Defendant-Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

Decided September 23, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the defendant-appellant the cause was submitted on the brief of Glenn L. Cushing, assistant state public defender.

For the plaintiff-respondent the cause was submitted on the brief of Bronson C. La Follette, attorney general, and John J. Glinski, assistant attorney general.

Before Voss, P.J., Brown and Scott, JJ.

Failure to require the prosecution to disclose the informant's identity in these circumstances is reversible error.
