Linn robbery conviction upheld by appeals court
The Iowa Court of Appeals refused to overturn Wallace Madden's Linn County robbery conviction. Madden, then 28, was sentenced to up to 25 years for robbery with aggravation in the beating and theft of 61-year-old Donald Grove outside Shaheen's Tavern in July 1977. The court found no proof jurors saw him handcuffed, while a dissent argued for a new trial due to a pretrial ruling on prior felonies.
