State v. Asling, No. 7-195 / 06-0836, COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 13, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a domestic abuse assault case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in conditionally admitting evidence of a prior alleged assault against the victim, pursuant to Iowa R. Evid. 5.104(b), as defendant did not seek a mistrial based on the State's failure to properly connect the evidence to him, nor seek to have the evidence stricken.

State v. Blow, No. 7-358 / 06-1096, COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 13, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A motion to suppress evidence was properly denied in a drug case because there was no violation of rights under the Fourth Amendment and Iowa Const. art. 1, § 8 since there was probable cause for a warrant; statements given to a magistrate regarding the location of marijuana plants did not constitute a reckless disregard of the truth.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction for indecent acts with a child in violation of Iowa Code § 709.12(2) was affirmed.

State v. Gomez-Rodriguez, No. 7-193 / 06-0527, COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 13, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a double murder case, defense counsel was not ineffective by failing to argue the defense of imperfect self-defense as the defense had not been adopted in Iowa, and it was unlikely that a defense under Iowa Code § 704.3 would have succeeded as defendant tracked down the victims to their home and waited for them with loaded weapons.

State v. Schofield, No. 7-132 / 06-0301, COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 13, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err by denying defendant's motion to sever under Iowa R. Crim. P. 2.6(1) 17 charges arising from drug sale from two charges arising from drugs officers found in defendant's home because two marijuana-related charges involved many of the same officers and witnesses with other 17 counts and the prejudicial effects were minimal.

View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court erroneously granted defendant's motion to suppress in defendant's prosecution for marijuana possession because a police officer had reasonable cause to stop defendant, who was identified as someone attempting a burglary, and defendant consented to a pat down, which revealed an object that defendant claimed was a pocket knife.
