Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Stuart P. Werling, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Doyle, S.J. (6 pages)
Riki Harrington appeals her convictions and sentences for ongoing criminal conduct and first-degree theft. OPINION HOLDS: After viewing all the evidence in the light most favorable to upholding the verdict, we conclude a rational person could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Harrington took money from her office, so we affirm Harrington’s convictions. The district court did not adhere to a fixed sentencing policy but exercised its discretion and in denying Harrington deferred judgment. We affirm her sentences.
