Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica Zrinyi Wittig, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (11 pages)
Derrick Moore appeals his convictions for burglary in the first degree, harassment in the third degree, domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury, and possession of marijuana. He contends the State failed to offer sufficient evidence to support his convictions and he was prejudiced by trial counsel’s subpar performance. OPINION HOLDS: Finding the State offered substantial evidence of burglary and drug possession, we affirm those convictions. Finding Moore failed to preserve error on his challenges to the remaining counts, we decline to disturb the jury verdicts. Finally, because Moore needs to further develop the record on his allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel, we preserve those claims for possible postconviction-relief proceedings.
