STATE of Iowa, Appellee, v. Gary VENZKE, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Iowa.

December 29, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John J. Hines of Dutton, Braun, Staack, Hellman & Iversen, P.L.C., Waterloo, for appellant.

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Mary Tabor and James Kivi, Assistant Attorneys General, and Allan W. Vanderhart, County Attorney, for appellee.

Heard by STREIT, P.J., and VOGEL and MAHAN, JJ.


VOGEL, Judge.

The defendant, Gary Venzke, appeals his conviction for first-degree murder in violation of Iowa Code section 707.2(1) (1995). The case was tried to the court. He argues the trial court erred in requiring him to prove his insanity at times other than when the act was committed. He also claims the record does not support the trial court's rejection of his insanity defense.
