Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Justin Lightfoot, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (5 pages)
On appeal from his convictions for a shooting at an apartment complex, Dewayne Hunt challenges a jury instruction that permitted the jury to infer an intent to kill from his use of a dangerous weapon. OPINION HOLDS: The jury instruction was supported by substantial evidence. And even if it wasn’t, Hunt cannot show any resulting prejudice. Accordingly, we reject Hunt’s claim of instructional error and affirm his convictions.
