State of Iowa v. Vanessa Renae Gale

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court reviewed the appellant's challenges to the denial of her motion to suppress evidence and to the legality of her sentence for second‑offense drug possession. The Court affirmed the lower court's suppression ruling, held that the sentence was illegal because the prior conviction did not constitute a predicate offense under §124.401(5), and remanded for resentencing, taking judicial notice of the earlier judgment.
