Donald Lee Wyldes, Jr. v. State of Iowa

Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Wyldes’s post‑conviction relief, holding that the newly‑presented forensic evidence does not meet the statutory requirements for new evidence, that firearm toolmark and shoe‑print testimony remain admissible, and that Wyldes failed to show a due‑process violation or actual innocence. The court also affirmed summary‑judgment rulings on untimeliness claims.
