Verdict in Howard case set for Wednesday
Judge Louis Schultz said he will issue findings and a verdict at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Linn District Court. The Cedar Rapids man, 25, is charged with kidnapping in the first degree and sexual abuse in the second degree for allegedly attempting to rape a Coe College student in her dorm room on March 17. The trial is the county’s first where the defendant waived a jury. The case may raise whether the new code makes every forcible sexual attack a kidnapping. The Iowa Supreme Court likely will be asked to review the decision.
