Iowa Court of Appeals Upholds Posture in Mauer Case
The Iowa Court of Appeals rejects Mauer's claim of an overly harsh sentence, noting the district court found dangerous conduct from the start. Witnesses described Mauer moving about 30 mph in a debris clogged river while trying to evade police and leaving a possibly sinking boat with a family aboard. The court cited depraved indifference to life and safety as a deterrent, and Mauer's attorney Mark Beckman declined comment.
