Susan Bird-Winbun of Reedsburg is in the process of creating a domestic violence shelter and healing/rehabilitation program for abuse victims.  Bird-Winbun lost both of her children when her former boyfriend, David Yates, was convicted of killing her infant twins, Tyler and Susannah.

The name of the new organization is called the Fairy House Foundation.  According to Bird-Winbun, "We want to be more personalized and offer one-on-one services from beginning to end for our victims."  Teenage girls and woman make up the majority of her 25 clients.  They are still looking for a location in the Reedsburg, Baraboo, and Wisconsin Dells area to build a shelter for abuse victims.  

There is another organization similar to Fairy House Foundation for victims of domestic violence in the south central Wisconsin area called Hope House.  What's most important, according to Ellen Allen of Hope House, is "...to be very cautious about duplicating any services we offer in our small communities, because the funding is already stretched so much." 

If you have been charged with domestic violence, contact Appleton domestic violence attorneys of Kohler, Hart & Priebe by calling 414-271-9595.

A man in Appleton pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree rape stemming from an 2003 assault.

According to court documents, 31 year-old Donnell Thomas Bellamy pleaded guilty before County Circuit Court Judge Paul A. Hackner. Bellamy attacked a 13 year-old girl on July 2, 2003. Police say the victim was walking to a friends house around 12:30 a.m. when she was stopped "two minutes" from her fathers house by a man in a dark car. The man said if she didn't get in, he would kill her, Assistant State Attorney Kathleen Rogers said.

Bellamy was charged after DNA samples were matched to genetic material recovered from cold cases in state and federal databases. Authorities got a hit earlier this year and detectives arrested Bellamy at his home in Appleton.

If you have been accused of committing rape, your reputation, livelihood, and freedom could all be at risk. To speak with an experienced Appleton crimnal defense attorney, call the offices of Kohler, Hart & Priebe today at 414-271-9595.

Students at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse have purchased a $55 breathalyzer in order to allow fellow students to use it before getting into a vehicle to drive home.

Students have made posters and carried them around downtown in order to promote the free BAC tests that they offer. If people ignore the sign, the two students have asked people who are about to get behind the wheel of a car to use it.

These students are trying their hardest to save their fellow students from a DUI citation and keep them and others on the road safe. The two students that have started the efforts both lost friends to drinking and driving and do not want anyone else to have to go through that.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a DUI, contact the Appleton criminal lawyers of Kohler, Hart & Priebe, LLP by calling 414-271-9595 today.
