[T] City of Elkhorn v. St. John8/27/2003
y of death, injury, and suffering it levies on its victims. It may transform an innocent user of a highway into a victim at any time-with no advance notice and no opportunity to be heard. It is a tragedy where the intoxicated driver and the victim are often unwittingly the same person.
It is also a scourge on society: drunk driving exacts a heavy toll in terms of increased health care and insurance costs, diminished economic resources, and lost worker productivity. It is an affliction which produces no offsetting human or economic benefits; it engenders no positive human or economic incentive. It destroys and demoralizes personal lives and shocks society's conscience. It has no legitimate place in our society.
State v. Nordness, 128 Wis. 2d 15, 33-34, 381 N.W.2d 300 (1986).
. The court of appeals is a fast-paced, high-volume, error-correcting court, State ex rel. Swan v. Elections Board, 133 Wis. 2d 87, 93, 394 N.W.2d 732 (1986), and is without the resources to ignore the guilty plea waiver rule when the issue presented does not tempt us or find support in the law. We conclude that to conserve our limited resources, St. John's no contest plea waives her right to seek appellate review of the trial court's denial of her motion to dismiss.
By the Court. -- Order affirmed.
This opinion will not be published. See Wis. Stat. Rule 809.23(1)(b)4.
