Supreme Court Affirms Cooper Liquor Case Conviction
Justice Richards writes for the majority with Justice Hamilton dissenting. Cooper, a Marshalltown resident who resigned as liquor commission chair, was convicted in a lower court of permitting J LeRoy Farmer to possess liquor illegally. The court rules the indictment targeted commission members and employees for violations of the act, not general state possession. The opinion reprints section 85 and cites definitions to clarify such violations and the commission's role.
