That's One

The Iowa Supreme Court issued a correct ruling that keeps a murdering drug dealer behind bars.

Court reinstates drug dealer's murder conviction

They vacated an Iowa Court of Appeals decision overturning the conviction of a drug dealer, who shot a person trying to buy drugs from him because he suspected the person was an undercover police officer.

"The state argued the story of the murder cannot be intelligibly told without explaining why a person would shoot someone who merely approached him and asked him for drugs," according to court records.

The Supreme Court agreed, saying "the challenged evidence is relevant to the legitimate issues of ...motive and intent."

Congratulations to the court and the scientific community is united in that fact.
