Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Sac County, Christopher C. Polking, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., Badding, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (11 pages)
Loren Wilson appeals from his conviction and sentence for second-degree sexual abuse and lascivious acts with a child. Wilson argues the district court erred in not reopening the record to allow him to testify and in denying him a new trial and that there is insufficient evidence to convict him of the charged crimes. OPINION HOLDS: Because all the Teeters factors weigh against granting Wilson’s request to reopen the record and Wilson received a fair and impartial trial, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Wilson’s motion for new trial or his request to reopen the record. And because sufficient evidence supported his convictions, we affirm the district court in all respects.
