Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Mark E. Kruse, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., May, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (3 pages)
Michael Black appeals the denial of his second application for postconviction relief. OPINION HOLDS: Weighing the newly discovered evidence against the other evidence in the record, Black falls far short of his burden of showing the clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable fact finder could convict him of third-degree sexual assault, as required to prove a claim of actual innocence.
