Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott D. Rosenberg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Buller, P.J., Sandy, J., and Telleen, S.J. Opinion by Telleen, S.J. (5 pages)
A defendant appeals his convictions for willful injury and domestic abuse assault, arguing he was entitled to a pre-trial determination of his claim to immunity under Iowa Code section 704.13 (Supp. 2017). OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court was not required to resolve Thompson’s immunity claim prior to trial, we find no legal error mandating reversal in this case.
