Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Grundy County, Joel A. Dalrymple, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (8 pages)
Defendant appeals, arguing the evidence is insufficient to support the jury’s finding that he is an individual with a prior sexual conviction. He further argues the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a mistrial following the admission of evidence lacking proper foundation. OPINION HOLDS: We find the record contains substantial evidence to support the jury’s conclusion and the court did not abuse its discretion.
