Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Meghan Corbin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (13 pages)
Octavius Sallis appeals his conviction for homicide by vehicle by operating while intoxicated in violation of Iowa Code section 707.6A(1) (2023), challenging the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the conviction. Specifically, he asserts the evidence was insufficient to establish that (1) he was intoxicated while driving and (2) his intoxication caused the death of the victim. OPINION HOLDS: Because we conclude the jury’s verdict is supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
