State of Iowa v. Abel Gomez Medina

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed Gomez Medina’s convictions, holding that the district court correctly applied Iowa Code § 915.38(1)(c) to allow an adult victim with a documented mental illness to testify via closed‑circuit television, that the prosecutor’s closing‑argument comment did not constitute reversible error, and that the exclusion of 911 call logs was proper. The court emphasized that the Confrontation Clause claim was not preserved for appellate review.
