Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, The Honorable David P. Odekirk, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Badding, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (11 pages)

            This appeal arises from a jury’s verdict finding Devin Toler guilty of child endangerment causing bodily injury to his infant son. Toler challenges the weight of the evidence, portions of the State’s closing argument, the sentencing court’s consideration of alleged unproven conduct, and the scope and duration of the no-contact order OPINION HOLDS: After careful review of the record, we affirm, concluding the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Toler’s motion for new trial, overruling his claims of prosecutorial error, imposing sentence, or entering a no-contact order.
