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. (13 pages)
A defendant appeals his convictions for three counts of attempted murder and two counts of willful injury causing serious injury. He contends the district court erred in rejecting his justification defense and finding he aided and abetted in the commission of these crimes. He also argues the verdicts were against the weight of the evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record shows substantial evidence that he acted without justification and aided and abetted, and because he failed to preserve error on his weight-of-the-evidence claim, we affirm.
