STATE v. SMITHSON

No. 98-77.

594 N.W.2d 1 (1999)

STATE of Iowa, Appellee, v. Larry Richard SMITHSON, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

Rehearing Denied May 25, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jerry Crawford and J.D. Hartung of Crawford Law Firm, Des Moines, for appellant.

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Mary Tabor, Assistant Attorney General, John P. Sarcone, County Attorney, and Ralph Marasco and Fred Gay, Assistant County Attorneys, for appellee.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and HARRIS, CARTER, NEUMAN, and CADY, JJ.


CARTER, Justice.

Defendant, Larry Smithson, appeals from a judgment convicting him of interference with official acts in violation of Iowa Code section 719.1 (1997). He contends that the evidence was insufficient to permit the jury to find that he had violated that statute and that the statute is void for vagueness. We reverse the conviction on the sufficiency-of-evidence grounds and, for that reason, do not consider the constitutional challenge to the statute.
