Hearing Granted for Post Conviction Relief in Munz Case
Cedar Rapids man Thomas Arthur Munz, 40, won a hearing from the Iowa Court of Appeals to examine post conviction relief claims. The appeals court ordered an evidentiary hearing on whether his 1982 guilty plea was involuntary due to a jail nurse administered psycho‑depressant and whether his lawyer provided ineffective assistance. The court upheld the search warrant validity, ruling trial counsel’s failure to challenge it did not amount to ineffective assistance.
