Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Henry W. Latham and Jeffrey D. Bert, Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (16 pages)
Trymaine Bostic appeals the trial court’s denial of his motions to continue and for mistrial and challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions for child endangerment causing bodily injury and child endangerment. OPINION HOLDS: In voluntarily absenting himself after the first day of trial, Bostic cannot complain the court violated his constitutional right to be present when it denied the motions to continue and for mistrial. There is substantial evidence to support each of the convictions, and thus we affirm.
