Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott D. Rosenberg, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (6 pages)
Defendant appeals his conviction for first-degree murder, arguing the State failed to present sufficient evidence to show that he acted with malice aforethought. OPINION HOLDS: Because there was substantial evidence presented for a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant acted with malice aforethought, we affirm.
