State of Iowa
v.
James L. Mathias
James L. Mathias appeals from his conviction and sentence for carrying a weapon on a school ground in violation of Iowa Code section 724.4B following a jury trial. He argues: (1) the district court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal because there was insufficient evidence to support that the Brady Street Stadium and parking lot were “grounds of a school” as required by Iowa Code section 724.4B; and (2) the district court erred by submitting an incorrect jury instruction that provided an improper definition of “grounds of a school,” resulting in misdirecting the jury on a material matter of law.
