Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Michael J. Schilling, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (18 pages)
Emmanuel Spann appeals his conviction for first-degree murder based on a theory of aiding and abetting. Spann claims the district court erred in admitting certain evidence, his conviction was not supported by substantial evidence, and the court should have granted his motion for new trial. OPINION HOLDS: After considering all of the issues raised by Spann in this appeal, we affirm his conviction.
