State v. Sayles

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided May 7, 2003No. 02-0541PublishedCited by 12 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TERNUS, Justice.

The defendant, Brandon Sayles, asserts the district court erred in admitting computer-generated animated slides depicting shaken baby syndrome as evidence in his trial for child endangerment. We conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this demonstrative evidence. We also find no merit in the defendant’s claim he was entitled to a judgment of acquittal based on an alleged insufficiency of the evidence. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of conviction and sentence entered upon the charge of child endangerment causing serious injury.
