State of Iowa v. Reuben Daniel Schooley

November 8, 2024

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed Reuben Schooley’s conviction for child endangerment causing bodily injury and his five‑year prison sentence. The court held that the evidence was sufficient for a jury to find the father’s conduct exceeded permissible corporal punishment and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in considering the guardian ad litem’s victim‑impact statement.
