How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding the omission of one element of the offense from a jury instruction necessitated a new trial
  • electing to review only one issue and letting the court of appeals decision stand on the remaining two
  • noting a social worker “immediately confronted [the defendant] with evidence of his guilt” and that “factor support[ed] a finding of a custodial interrogation”
  • noting evidence the defendant carried a weapon across a kitchen was sufficient
  • “[O]mission in the jury instruction of the movement element requires a new trial on the going-armed charge.”
  • “When an inmate is questioned, we look for ‘some added restriction on the inmate’s freedom of movement stemming from the interrogation itself.’” (quoting State v. Deases, 518 N.W.2d 784, 789 (Iowa 1994))
