Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Patrick A. McElyea, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Langholz, J. (7 pages)
Craig Lind appeals his forgery conviction, arguing that the State failed to prove that he knew the check was altered before presenting it to the teller or that he had the specific intent to defraud the bank or knowledge that he was helping to defraud the bank. OPINION HOLDS: Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict that Lind knew the check was altered and had the specific intent to defraud the bank or knew that he was helping to defraud the bank. We thus affirm Lind’s conviction.
