STATE of Iowa, Appellee, v. Ickey Lee BUCHANAN, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

May 22, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Linda Del Gallo, State Appellate Defender, and Sarah E. Hennesy, Assistant State Appellate Defender, for appellant.

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Roxann M. Ryan, Assistant Attorney General, and Thomas J. Ferguson, County Attorney, for appellee.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and CARTER, LAVORATO, NEUMAN, and ANDREASEN, JJ.
