Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Muscatine County, Tom Reidel, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (7 pages)
Dayton Elliott appeals his criminal convictions, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm, concluding there was substantial evidence to support the State’s aiding-and-abetting theory of criminal liability and the marshalling instruction for assault causing serious injury authorized the jury to reach a guilty verdict with aiding and abetting serving as the act causing serious injury.
