Iowa Supreme Court orders new trial for Linn County man
The Iowa Supreme Court reversed Matthew Cox's 2008 convictions for second and third degree sexual abuse, ruling that prior abuse evidence violated due process. Cox, 27, was accused of fondling a relative aged 4 to 6 between 1996 and 1998 and raping her around 2003, with additional testimony from other relatives. The court found the prior acts showed a general pattern rather than a legitimate trial issue, and ordered a retrial.
