Robbie Hess appeals his conviction for first-degree kidnapping. OPINION HOLDS: I. Substantial evidence supports the jury’s finding that Hess removed B.M. and the removal occurred in Iowa. II. The weight of the evidence supports the jury’s findings regarding removal and jurisdiction, as well as the finding that B.M. was incapacitated. III. Hess did not preserve error on his challenge to the jury instruction. Regardless, any error was not prejudicial.
