Date Published:
Dec 18, 2024
Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Robert J. Richter, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (12 pages)

            Zebulon Paul Dawson appeals his conviction and sentence after a jury found him guilty of assault causing bodily injury.  OPINION HOLDS: Substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict, which is not contrary to the weight of the evidence.  Because the district court did not err by denying Dawson a new trial or abuse its sentencing discretion, we affirm Dawson’s conviction and sentence.
