(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of an Earlville man found guilty of killing his wife with a corn rake. Todd Mullis was convicted by a jury in September of 2019 of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Amy. Mullis appealed — saying there was not enough evidence to show he was the one who attacked Amy in a hog barn and killed her with the corn rake. The Court of Appeals disagreed — saying there was ample evidence presented that Mullis was the only one who could have killed his wife –and that he had a motive because he was suspicious she was having an affair and did not want to lose his farming operation in a divorce.
