Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Tamra Roberts, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (9 pages)
A defendant appeals his conviction for domestic abuse assault, arguing the evidence was insufficient to establish he and his victim were “family or household members,” which was defined to the jury as “persons cohabiting with each other.” OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence supports the jury’s finding of cohabitation, we affirm the defendant’s conviction.
