Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Chris Foy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (10 pages)
Amando Montealvo appeals his conviction for sexual abuse in the second degree. He argues his trial was tainted by juror misconduct and juror bias, an expert witness improperly commented on witness testimony, the court erroneously admitted vouching evidence, the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, the weight of the evidence does not support his conviction, and cumulative errors require a new trial. OPINION HOLDS: We reject Montealvo’s arguments and affirm his conviction.
