Oops ....restitution in the non Iowa states is the issue. Trial was in Iowa.

Just on the Iowa restitution issue unless the cases in various states were consolidated ...which I doubt. 50/50.

Not a new trial as to guilt.

Tipton is not arguing ineffective or incompetent legal counsel so his argument is perplexing. But he has a good argument over the lack of Iowa jurisdiction for the restitution issue

It's way too late to cry wolf. You did the crime, now you'll do your time.

The sentence is cruel and unusual because it has been applied to an actually innocent person simply to see that he is charged with a crime,

If he knew he was innocent of ongoing criminal conduct , why plead guilty? He should known they were going to throw the book at him.

Tipton sealed his fate. His signature. His verbal acknowledgement is on court record.

That calls to mind some of the words of wisdom that my Papaw passed on to me when I was just a little mountain man child. I remember going down the narrow hallway in our house in the holler and he was coming the other way on his walker and there wasn't room for us to squeeze by each other and Ill never forget what he said to me that day. To the best I can recall he said: Get the f*** out of my way, you little b*****d!

But other people told me that honesty is the best policy and stuff like th... [ More ]
