Summary

 

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Michael J. Shubatt, Judge.  REVERSED and REMANDED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Mullins, J., and Potterfield, S.J.  Opinion by Mullins, J. (10 pages)

            Anthony Ernst appeals his conviction of attempted burglary in the third degree in violation of Iowa Code section 713.6B (2017).  He argues the State failed to produce sufficient evidence to support the verdict and that it is against the weight of the evidence.  He also argues his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the admission of cell phone records.  OPINION HOLDS (after rehearing): Because the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s verdict, we reverse and remand for judgment of acquittal.
