Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Jason D. Besler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Bower, C.J., Greer, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (22 pages)
Ezekiel Cortez Phillips Jr. appeals his convictions for first-degree murder, attempted murder, willful injury causing serious injury, and going armed with intent. Phillips asserts the State violated discovery orders, failed to disclose favorable evidence, and engaged in a pattern of repeated prosecutorial misconduct, and as a result the court should have granted a mistrial or a new trial. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm.
