Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Lars G. Anderson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Greer, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (11 pages)
Reginald Little appeals his conviction for first-degree murder under a theory of felony murder, with the underlying felony being first-degree robbery. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is substantial evidence in the record to show first-degree robbery was committed by another person and Little aided and abetted, or engaged in joint criminal conduct, with this person. We also find the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Little’s motion for a new trial. We affirm Little’s conviction.
