(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has denied a Manchester man a third trial on his attempted murder conviction in the shooting of his former girlfriend. Robert Krogman was convicted of shooting and seriously injuring the woman in 2009 after she broke up with him. He was granted a new trial over an issue involving his frozen finances and was convicted again.

The Court of Appeals ruled he should get a third trial after he said a video interview with police should have been allowed in court to help his diminished capacity defense.

The Supreme Court ruled that video should have been allowed — but says the video would not have provided any meaningful help to Krogman’s claim that he had diminished capacity at the time of the shooting.
