Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Floyd County, Chris Foy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Greer, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (4 pages)
Michael Debettignies appeals his conviction for third-degree sexual abuse. He contends the district court abused its discretion when it sustained a motion in limine. OPINION HOLDS: Debettignies failed to preserve error because (1) he did not offer the evidence during trial and (2) the motion in limine ruling was not unequivocal so as to leave no question as to whether the evidence would be admitted.
