Date Published:

Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Richard B. Clogg, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Schumacher, JJ.  Opinion by Mullins, J.  Dissent by Tabor, P.J.  (17 pages)

            James Brice appeals his conviction of indecent exposure.  He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction and argues his trial counsel was ineffective in various respects.  OPINION HOLDS: We conclude Brice’s conviction is supported by substantial evidence and counsel was not ineffective as alleged.  We affirm Brice’s conviction of indecent exposure.  DISSENT ASSERTS: I would find substantial evidence does not support the verdict because the State did not produce sufficient evidence to satisfy the offensiveness element of the indecent exposure charge.
