Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Mullins, S.J. (25 pages)
Jermaine Miller appeals his convictions—following a bench trial—for first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit a forcible felony, first-degree theft, going armed with intent, assault while participating in a felony, and assault while displaying a dangerous weapon. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting each conviction, argues the court erred in overruling his objection to the admission of his seized clothing as evidence, and claims the court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a new trial “on the ground that he did not receive a fair trial.” OPINION HOLDS: We affirm Miller’s convictions.
