Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Sioux County, Steven J. Andreasen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, J. (6 pages)
Rogelio Morales Morales challenges the sufficiency of the evidence for his sexual-abuse conviction. He argues that under the marshalling instruction, the State had to prove the offense happened within the stated time range. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State offered substantial evidence that Morales committed the offense within the instruction’s time frame, we affirm without addressing whether it had the burden to do so.
