Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott Rosenberg, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J. (16 pages)

            Tony Arterberry challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his convictions for first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, and first-degree robbery.  He also disputes several evidentiary rulings, arguing they deprived him of a fair trial.  OPINION HOLDS: There was sufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict.  We affirm Arterberry’s convictions for all three crimes and reject his evidentiary challenges.
