May 17, 2024, Fond du Lac, WI.  At 7:00 p.m. after a four-day Jury trial, a Fond du Lac jury found Jason J. Norton of Detroit, Not Guilty of Conspiracy to Deliver Methamphetamine greater than 50g, a class C felony.  Norton had faced up to 25 years initial confinement and a total maximum sentence of up to 40 years in state prison.

On February 1, 2018, a Fond du Lac Jury of 12 acquitted Carlos Martinez on charges of allegedly making felony terrorist threats and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Daniel Kaminsky represented Mr. Martinez and J. Foss Davis tried the case for the Fond du Lac County District Attorney.

Appeal No. 2014AP2844 STATE OF WISCONSIN

IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF: REBECCA LYNN STERNAT,

JOINT PETITIONER-RESPONDENT, V.

SHAWN WILLIAM STERNAT,

JOINT PETITIONER-APPELLANT.

In an article titled: "Murder conspiracy implodes in court MURDER-FOR-HIRE THEORY CRUMBLES THANKS TO MINNESOTA INFORMANT, CELL TOWER LOGS", John Ferak, an investigative reporter for Gannett Wisconsin Media, wrote:

Dan Kaminsky, the Fond du Lac lawyer defending Dianna Siveny, told the judge, "They admitted they talked to Joe Primeau. We only learned about it from our own investigation, not from any reports. Their answer to where's the interview notes, recording or police report for Joe Primeau? We talked to him. We didn't make a report."

Additionally, a woman in St. Paul, Michele Irmen, told investigators she moved into Kandi Siveny's house in St. Paul three days before the murder.

In an article titled: "The unraveling of a murder case. EIGHT YEARS AFTER LARA PLAMANN WAS SHOT TO DEATH, HER KILLER REMAINS FREE.", John Ferak, an investigative reporter for Gannett Wisconsin Media, wrote:

"The tragedy of this case is that a murderer remains at large and will likely never be charged," Daniel Kaminsky, the defense lawyer for Dianna Siveny, said in a statement he issued after the charge was dismissed earlier this year. Kaminsky previously served as Fond du Lac County's District Attorney. "The failure to properly investigate this case has left the victim's family and her partner without justice."

A charge of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide was dismissed Tuesday morning against Dianna Siveny in the 2007 murder of her domestic partner Lara Plamann.

When Dianna Siveny was falsely accused of murder she couldn’t believe it. Dianna not only lost her life partner, her life as she knew it was torn from her. She lost her adopted family who were convinced by authorities that she was involved with Lara Plamann’s death. With no prior criminal record she lost her freedom, her reputation, and her life savings. Imagine being treated like a criminal everywhere you go, but having done nothing wrong. In the world of public opinion, there is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty.

Daniel Kaminsky, Siveny’s attorney, issued a statement saying he thinks it is likely the case may never be charged due to the way police and prosecutors mishandled the case.
