Testimony of other rape victims allowed in Lawless trial
At Linn District Court, jurors will hear testimony from women who were assaulted and observers of related attempted attacks to show similarities in the cases. Wallie Lawless, 28, faces first degree kidnapping and second degree sexual abuse charges for a November incident involving a Cedar Rapids woman. The judge ruled the evidence admissible solely to link the assaults to Lawless, despite defense objections about potential prejudice.
