Iowa Supreme Court Upholds Protective Order Firearm Violation Conviction
The Iowa Supreme Court affirms Cole’s two convictions for violating a domestic abuse protective order though a district judge added an unlawful sentencing clause. Justices split on firearm possession linked to protective orders with a dissent arguing the civil order was invalid without a credible threat finding. The case remits for corrected sentencing while a separate 4-3 decision upholds a law banning carrying a firearm with controlled substances.
