Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie Vaudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (16 pages)
Daniel Jackson appeals his convictions for murder, robbery, and burglary, all in the first degree. He contends there is insufficient evidence to support the verdicts and the district court abused its discretion in evidentiary rulings. OPINION HOLDS: We find substantial evidence supports the verdicts and the district court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted police officer body camera video depicting the victim near death on the scene and a Snapchat video of Jackson holding a pellet gun. So, we affirm.
