Mukwonago Taco Bell Co-Worker Assault Case: Alexander Van Wyhe

The case involved a 15-year-old co-worker Van Wyhe met while they both worked at a Taco Bell in Mukwonago. The case also highlights two distinct issues raised by a teen’s employment: workplace rules for minors and the law governing the assault conviction. Neither should be treated as proof of the other. The Wisconsin Court System’s jury instruction for second-degree sexual assault of a child states that consent to sexual contact is not a defense. That general legal rule does not independently establish the facts of this case.

Judges behaving badly and the good they do | Legally Speaking with Hildebrand Law Firm

Judges are entrusted with enormous authority, but they are not supposed to be above the law. Attorneys Kirsten Hildebrand and Matt Kaplan discuss Judge Hannah Dugan’s federal case, the ways judges can be disciplined and the challenges of electing judges who are expected to remain impartial. They also explore how campaign fundraising, political labels and the pressure of reelection can create questions about bias in the courtroom. The conversation balances those concerns with stories of judges who have made a positive difference, including Judge Joe Donald’s work creating Milwaukee County’s drug treatment court, Judge Kristy Yang’s service to the Hmong community and Judge Mary Triggiano’s work on behalf of children and families.

College football: No. 4 UW-Whitewater topples No. 2 UW-Platteville 24-21 to clinch share of WIAC title

PLATTEVILLE — Saturday’s game between UW-Whitewater and UW-Platteville certainly lived up to the hype, and ultimately the Warhawks emerged not only with a 24-21 win, but at least a share of the 2026 WIAC title. The No. 4 Warhawks (9-0, 6-0 WIAC) made every point count in the 33rd annual Battle for the Miner’s Axe, as UWW was able to hand the Pioneers (8-1, 5-1 WIAC) their first loss of the season to clinch a share of the 2026 WIAC regular season championship. UW-Platteville did end up out-gaining UW-Whitewater 340 yards to 305, but massive third down stops by the Warhawk defense proved the deciding factor in the tight win. UWW also played an extremely clean game, only committing one penalty for five yards when the team entered the weekend averaging five penalties for 55 yards per game. The Warhawks faced adversity early with the Pioneers showing just why they entered the weekend ranked No. 2 in the nation. After a first down run by Tommy Novotny on the first play from scrimmage, UWW went in reverse with two sacks and an incomplete pass leading to a Warhawk punt. The Pioneers immediately took advantage, taking a deep shot on a
