Supreme Court of Iowa

State of Iowa v. Darius LeJuan Wade

May 31, 2024

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court held that the term “fix” in Iowa Code §907.7(1) requires a court to set a definite length of probation, not a range, and therefore vacated the district court’s 2‑to‑5‑year probation order and remanded for resentencing. The court also affirmed the appellate court’s finding that substantial evidence supported Wade’s firearm conviction.
