Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Brook Jacobsen, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (8 pages)
A defendant appeals his convictions for child endangerment and domestic abuse assault, second offense. The defendant argues the district court abused its discretion in (1) admitting audio recordings of two 911 phone calls; (2) allowing opinion testimony by a police officer that the defendant’s wife was not cooperative; (3) overruling an objection to rebuttal evidence; and (4) denying his for-cause challenge to a potential juror. OPINION HOLDS: Because the defendant’s claims on appeal were either not preserved for our review or did not result in prejudice, we affirm his convictions.
