Court of Appeals upholds Johnson murder conviction
|
|
by Bob Fisher, News Director
9:30 AM, Thursday, August 6th
DES MOINES --- The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Mason City man accused of murdering his mother and holding his step-father captive in the couple’s basement. Jordan Johnson appealed his conviction on charges of first-degree murder and second-degree kidnapping saying that his lawyer failed to object to testimony given by a forensic psychiatrist testifying for the defense during the prosecution’s cross-examination. Doctor William Logan on cross-exam was asked by prosecutors if in his opinion that Johnson’s murder case was not one where diminished capacity applies. Logan answered that (quote) “if you look at it from a very narrow standpoint and without looking at the rationality of what he did, then I would agree with that.” Logan also stated later that he made the same assessment in an earlier deposition. Johnson alleged that his counsel’s decision to allow those questions breached an essential duty in his diminished capacity defense. The court determined that the case is not sufficient for it to address Johnson’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, concluding the issue should be preserved for possible post-conviction proceedings. That would allow Johnson’s attorney to explain her reasons for not objecting to the challenged testimony. Johnson was convicted of the hatchet murder of his mother Rita Seely on January 19th of 2008 at her home in southeastern Mason City, then detaining step-father Phil Seely in the home’s basement so he could escape.
