Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Crawford County, Patrick H. Tott, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (6 pages)
Zachary Vennink challenges his guilty plea to second degree theft, arguing it was unsupported by a factual basis because the evidence does not show he intended to permanently deprive the owner of their property. OPINION HOLDS: Because Vennink’s written plea did not adequately inform of his rights regarding a motion in arrest of judgment, we find Vennink has good cause to appeal. But his claim fails on the merits because the plea was supported by a factual basis.
