Wisniewski files motion for new trial in Cedar Rapids robbery case
Raymond G. Wisniewski of Cedar Rapids has filed a Tuesday motion in Linn district court seeking a new trial for his March 13 conviction on robbery with aggravation over the Feb. 22 Berry's Food Market holdup. His attorney argues insufficent evidence and errors in jury instructions, and alleges misconduct by a Cedar Rapids police officer. Wisniewski was also sentenced Friday in federal court to 15 years for passing and possessing a forged U S treasury check. The filing also cites objections over five state witnesses and seeks set aside verdict.
