Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Melissa Anderson-Seeber, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., Buller, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (11 pages)
Christopher Abram appeals his conviction for willful injury causing serious injury and possession of a firearm as a felon. Abram contends the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for new trial on the basis that the verdicts were against the weight of the evidence. He additionally argues the district court abused its discretion in admitting a challenged exhibit for lack of sufficient foundation and in denying his motion to strike a juror for cause. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court did not err or abuse its discretion, and Abram did not preserve error on his evidentiary challenge, we affirm.
