Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica Zrinyi Ackley, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (6 pages)
Troy Rees appeals the sentence imposed, arguing he was denied his right of allocution. OPINION HOLDS: Because the court afforded Rees and his attorney the opportunity to volunteer information regarding his punishment, there was substantial compliance with the rule and the court did not deny him his right of allocution. Finding no defect in the sentencing procedure, we affirm.
