Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Michael J. Shubatt, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (6 pages)
Bryan Halfhill appeals his convictions for second-degree sexual abuse and lascivious acts with a child. OPINION HOLDS: We determine the district court applied the wrong standard in ruling on Halfhill’s motion for new trial. We reverse the district court’s ruling on the motion for new trial and remand to the district court for a new ruling applying the weight-of-the-evidence standard.
