The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld a Page County man’s June 2016 conviction by jury, of burglary in the second and third degrees. 47-year old Clinton John Doiel had appealed the ruling following his April, 2016 arrest and trial, by claiming the trial court denial of his motion for judgment of acquittal and motion for new trial.

The Appeals Court ruled the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict.  Additionally, they said the weight of the evidence is not contrary to the guilty verdicts.
