Appeals Upheld 2nd Degree Burglary Conviction in Linn County
The Iowa Court of Appeals upheld Kenneth M. Barnes’s second degree burglary conviction, rejecting claims that pretrial identification evidence should have been suppressed due to unpreserved photos. The decision found the photographic array not unduly suggestive and the witness’s identification reliable. The report also notes IDOT warning of possible low flying aircraft over Highway 100 as fertilizer is applied along the corridor between Edgewood Road NE and I 380.
