Among other issues, Forest S. Shomberg, 41, contends that Dane County Circuit Judge Patrick Fiedler erred during the trial two years ago by not allowing his attorney to present expert testimony about the reliability of eyewitness identification. Shomberg was convicted for the March 9, 2002, assault of a UW-Madison sophomore near the Lower State Street Parking Ramp.
