Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott J. Beattie, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (24 pages)
Odol Othow appeals his convictions for attempted murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and willful injury causing serious injury. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find that the district court did not err in overruling Othow’s motion to sever his trial from Owo Bol and Thon Bol, that the district court did not err in admitting the recorded statements of two other co-defendants even though they were severed from the trial, and substantial evidence supports the verdict, we affirm Othow’s convictions.
