Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Bethany Currie, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., Buller, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (11 pages)
A defendant appeals his convictions, arguing several improper statements warrant a new trial and insufficient evidence supports his child-endangerment convictions. OPINION HOLDS: The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the mistrial motions because its curative instructions remedied any potential unfairness, and substantial evidence supports the defendant’s child-endangerment convictions.
