Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Joel W. Barrows, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (7 pages)
Cory Carter challenges his prison sentence for lascivious acts with a child contending the sentencing court failed to adequately explain its reasons for the sentence. He also claims the court’s reliance on the victim impact statements was impermissible and a violation of due process. OPINION HOLDS: Because the sentencing court gave reasons for Carter’s sentence and the use of the victim impact statements were permissible and constitutionally sound, we affirm.
