Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Coleman J. McAllister, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by May, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (6 pages)
Raysean Nelson appeals his conviction for criminal gang participation enhanced as a habitual offender. OPINION HOLDS: He asserts that there was insufficient evidence to show he participated in a street gang or was an active member of one. We find the evidence was sufficient to support a finding by a jury that Nelson actively participated in a gang. We affirm.
