Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Nelmark, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (14 pages)
A defendant appeals his convictions for three counts of attempted murder and two counts of willful injury causing serious injury. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State offered ample proof that Alcorn aided and abetted Rebecca and Robert Lyons in shooting at three victims, we find the court properly instructed the jury and substantial evidence supported the verdicts. We find no abuse of discretion in the court’s sentencing decision. We do not reach the merits of his evidentiary issue.
