Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David M. Porter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (14 pages)
Wour Magang appeals his convictions and sentences for second-degree robbery and first-degree burglary. Magang contends the court wrongly admitted footage from a police officer’s body camera. He claims his convictions are not supported by sufficient evidence. He claims the district court utilized the wrong standard when considering his motion for a new trial. He also claims the court abused its discretion during sentencing. OPINION HOLDS: We find the court properly admitted the officer’s body camera footage. Sufficient evidence supports Magang’s convictions. The district court did not utilize the wrong standard when deciding on Magang’s motion for a new trial. And the court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing.
