Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Sarah Crane, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (5 pages)
Gary Wood appeals from the denial of his application for postconviction relief (PCR). He seeks relief from his guilty plea to domestic abuse assault, second offense. In this PCR appeal, he argues he is actually innocent of the charge. OPINION HOLDS: Given the issues with the victim’s recantations, Wood has not provided clear and convincing evidence no reasonable factfinder would convict him of domestic abuse assault considering all of the evidence. We affirm the denial of his PCR application.
