Attorney Ahmet Gonlubol seeks Iowa Supreme Court hearing on how juries are drawn in Morgan murder case. He argues ZIP code based pools may have hindered fair trial and notes a separate ruling that township division could exclude residents. Morgan was convicted of murdering Anna Marie Emry. Sallen calls the issue a technicality unlikely to overturn.
