885.03 AnnotationSection 972.11 (1) points in two different directions. On the one hand, the rules of civil procedure are applicable generally to criminal proceedings. On the other hand, this chapter is to apply in all criminal proceedings. Because s. 972.11 (1) explicitly references it, this chapter is the more specific textual provision. State v. Wilson, 2017 WI 63, 376 Wis. 2d 92, 896 N.W.2d 682, 15-0671.
