MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court will not hear Jacob Cayer’s appeal, leaving his convictions intact for the 2016 murders of his ex-girlfriend and her mother.
Cayer was convicted August 2020 of killing his ex-girlfriend, Sabrina Teague, and her mother, Heesun “Sunny” Teague, at a Hobart home. After a jury ruled he was not guilty by reason of mental disease, he was committed to a secure mental health facility.
Cayer appealed, arguing he was wrongfully denied the chance to introduce evidence someone else was responsible for the murders, that his constitutional rights were denied as a result, and that there was insufficient evidence for the convictions.
The state Court of Appeals rejected his appeal in June.
This week, the state Supreme Court said it would not hear Cayer’s appeal of that decision, leaving the convictions in place, court records show.
