Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Meghan K. Corbin, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (15 pages)
A defendant appeals her convictions for second-degree theft, third-degree burglary, and conspiracy to commit a non-forcible felony. She contends they aren’t supported by sufficient evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence supports all three of her convictions, we affirm. But we note an error in the defendant’s sentence and remand for entry of a new judgment order.
