Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Allamakee County, Richard D. Stochl, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (13 pages)
Joshua Barr appeals his commitment as a sexually violent predator under Iowa Code Chapter 229A (2015). He argues the district court erred by concluding beyond a reasonable doubt that he had a mental abnormality and he was more likely than not to engage in predatory acts of sexual violence. OPINION HOLDS: The court’s findings are supported by substantial evidence, and we affirm.
