Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Tama County, Fae Hoover Grinde, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (6 pages)
A defendant challenges her sentences arising from an armed assault at a social club. She raises a due process argument and challenges the sentencing court’s discretion. OPINION HOLDS: We find that the defendant failed to preserve error on her constitutional claim and detect no abuse of discretion on the court’s denial of a deferred judgment. Thus, we affirm.
