The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed Davenport chiropractor James Klindt’s second degree murder conviction for killing his wife Joyce and dismembering her body with a chain saw. The ruling allows interspousal taped conversations as evidence in spousal crime trials and upholds the use of serology in linking the torso to Joyce Klindt alongside other corroborating factors.
