Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Allamakee County, Alan Heavens, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (11 pages)
Felty Yoder appeals his convictions and sentences. He argues the State failed to present sufficient evidence to support his convictions for sex abuse, the district court improperly admitted evidence of prior bad acts, and the court impermissibly relied on unproven offenses in sentencing. OPINION HOLDS: We find sufficient evidence supports Yoder’s convictions, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in either admitting evidence or in sentencing. Accordingly, we affirm.
