Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Kurt J. Stoebe, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (10 pages)
Jamarrion James Davis appeals after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder. OPINION HOLDS: I. Substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict that Davis is guilty of first-degree murder. II. The district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of a recorded phone call Davis made from jail or evidence of his motive for the shooting. The evidence was relevant, and the probative value was not outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
