Douglas K. Uhde, the man accused of shooting and killing former Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer, had been sentenced to prison by the judge more than 15 years ago, court documents show.
Roemer, 68, was killed Friday in a New Lisbon, Wisconsin, home, the state's Justice Department said in a statement. Uhde, 56, was identified as a suspect, and was found in the basement of the home with an "apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," according to the state DOJ.
Uhde is in critical condition, according to Attorney General Josh Kaul.
Uhde pleaded guilty to burglary-armed with a dangerous weapon, possession of a short-barreled shotgun/rifle, felony possession of a firearm and a misdemeanor of carrying a concealed weapon, according to a judgment of conviction from November 10, 2005 obtained by CNN. He was sentenced to six years in prison followed by nine years of extended supervision, according to the judgment of conviction.
