Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, David P. Odekirk, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., Bower, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (9 pages)
Donald Hutton appeals his conviction of assault causing bodily injury on sufficiency-of-the-evidence grounds. He argues the trial court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal because the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he acted without justification. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude substantial evidence supports Hutton’s conviction of assault causing bodily injury. We therefore affirm his conviction.
