State of Iowa v. Ezekiel Kieffer

Summary

The court affirmed Kieffer’s convictions for two domestic abuse assaults, holding that substantial evidence supported the jury’s finding that he and the victim were cohabiting and that the district court adequately remedied violations of its order in limine. The court also held that the firearm prohibition was a term of Kieffer’s sentence, making the constitutional challenge reviewable on direct appeal, but rejected his federal constitutional challenge. The court declined to address the state constitutional challenge because any relief would not redress the federal firearm prohibition.
