Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Joel A. Dalrymple, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard by May, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (12 pages)

            Dean Hettinger appeals his convictions for murder in the first degree and child endangerment resulting in death, alleging the evidence does not support the convictions and the district court should have granted his motion for a new trial.  OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence supports the jury’s guilty verdicts and the district court did not abuse its discretion, we affirm the denial of Hettinger’s motions in arrest of judgment and for new trial.
