Vincik seeks new trial in Cedar Rapids murder case
William Vincik, 37, awaiting sentencing on a second degree murder conviction for the June 26 1984 shooting death of his wife Inez at their Cedar Rapids home seeks a new trial in Linn District Court. He claims the judge erred by excluding evidence questioning a detective’s honesty and argues his confession was improperly admitted. Sentencing set for July 19 carries a mandatory 50 year term.
