Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Colleen Weiland, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (6 pages)
Braedon Bowers appeals his conviction for voluntary manslaughter. He contends his trial counsel was ineffective for not arguing he was entitled to judgment of acquittal based on justification. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State presented sufficient evidence to disprove justification, Bowers cannot show prejudice. We affirm the conviction.
