State of Iowa v. Thomas E. Reuther
State of Iowa v. Thomas E. Reuther
Opinion
Thomas Reuther pleaded guilty to escape from custody, in violation of Iowa Code section 719.4(1) (2016), after he, in his own words, "ran" away from the residential correctional facility to which he had been paroled. On appeal, Reuther contends his plea counsel provided constitutionally deficient representation in failing to file a motion in arrest of judgment because there was no factual basis in support of the guilty plea. On de novo review, we conclude the claim is without merit; the record as a whole supports a factual basis for each element of the offense.
