Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott D. Rosenberg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (11 pages)
Marcus Hall appeals his convictions for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. OPINION HOLDS: Because all of the evidence Hall objected to on hearsay grounds was cumulative to other evidence in the record, we conclude the evidence was not prejudicial. We do not consider Hall’s arguments concerning the offense of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance because he was not convicted on that offense due to the merger of convictions. There is substantial evidence in the record to support Hall’s convictions for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. We affirm his convictions.
