Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, John Telleen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Ahlers, P.J. (5 pages)
Nibitanga Salvator appeals his conviction for second-degree robbery. He claims the evidence establishing identity is insufficient to support his conviction. OPINION HOLDS: We cannot independently weigh the evidence as Salvator suggests. Instead, when reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, we conclude the State produced sufficient evidence identifying Salvator as one of the robbers.
