Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Adair County, Stacy Ritchie, Judge. CONVICTION AND SENTENCE CONDITIONALLY AFFIRMED, RULING VACATED AND REMANDED. Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (10 pages)
Stephen Johnson Wilson appeals his conviction of disarming a peace officer, arguing the evidence is insufficient and the conviction is contrary to the weight of the evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Because substantial evidence supports the verdict, we affirm conditionally. But because the trial court applied the incorrect standard in ruling on his motion for new trial, we reverse and remand for the trial court to consider the motion applying the correct standard.
