State of Iowa v. Timothy Lee Hall Jr.

Summary

The court affirmed Hall’s harassment conviction, holding that the statute does not require the defendant to initiate the encounter when he purposefully continues the contact and engages in threatening conduct. The court also upheld the five-year no-contact order, concluding that the conviction authorized the order, that the challenge was reviewable on direct appeal, and that neither additional findings nor a more detailed explanation were required. No separate opinions were filed.
