Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (13 pages)
A criminal defendant appeals his convictions for three counts each of first-degree murder and first-degree robbery, challenging the district court’s denial of a motion to strike a potential juror for cause during voir dire and admission of certain autopsy photos at trial. OPINION HOLDS: Finding he has not proven an abuse of discretion warranting reversal on either issue, we affirm.
