Armstrong’s Attorneys Accuse Former Prosecutor Of Misconduct

Attorneys for a man convicted of murder in 1980 on Wednesday accused the assistant district attorney who prosecuted the case 29 years ago of misconduct.

Ralph Armstrong was initially convicted in 1980 in the slaying of University of Wisconsin student Charise Kamps, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned that conviction in 2005, citing DNA evidence.

In a Dane County courtroom Wednesday, Armstrong’s attorneys accused former Dane County prosecutor John Norsetter of misconduct in the case.
