Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Linda M. Fangman, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (16 pages)
Michael Harper appeals from his convictions and sentences for possession of a firearm by a felon and first-degree harassment, contending there is insufficient evidence to sustain the convictions and the court abused its discretion in admitting certain evidence and in sentencing. OPINION HOLDS: Because there is substantial evidence to support the convictions and we discern no abuse of discretion in the court’s evidentiary ruling or the sentence imposed, we affirm.
