Supreme Court of Iowa

State of Iowa v. Bita Amisi

November 17, 2023

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed Bita Amisi’s OWI and eluding convictions, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting a video showing Amisi’s consent to a preliminary breath test followed by his arrest, that the error was harmless given the overwhelming evidence of intoxication, and that the evidence was sufficient to support both convictions.
