Before Cane, P.J., Dean and LaRocque, JJ.


CANE, P.J.

Lloyd Gyrion and Wisconsin Physicians Service appeal a judgment affirming the jury's verdict finding that Jon Bauer was not negligent. Gyrion argues that the jury's verdict is not supported by the evidence and that the trial court erred by allowing cross-examination regarding Gyrion's criminal record. Because Bauer's attorney placed inadmissible evidence of Gyrion's criminal record before the jury, we reverse the judgment and remand for a new trial.
