State of Iowa v. Amy Lois Rasmussen

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's conviction, consecutive one-year sentences, and no-contact orders protecting the two victims named in the convictions. It held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by considering the offense's violence, effect on the community, and evidence of the defendant's lack of remorse. The court held that the no-contact order entered in the dismissed misdemeanor case was void, but remanded for a hearing on whether a new order protecting that victim could be entered in the serious-misdemeanor case.
