Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clay County, Nancy L. Whittenburg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Bower, C.J., Greer, Ahlers, Badding, and Chicchelly, JJ, and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Greer, J. (18 pages)
Jaykie Harrington challenges his convictions for possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance; child endangerment; failure to affix drug tax stamp; possession of a controlled substance, third or subsequent offense; and domestic abuse assault, second offense on prosecutorial-misconduct, right-against-self-incrimination, insufficient-evidence, and hearsay grounds. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find no prejudice resulting from prosecutorial misconduct, no implication of the right against self-incrimination, substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdicts, and no harm from the admission of the hearsay evidence, we affirm.
