IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – An appeals court has upheld the first-degree murder conviction of a mentally ill man who shot his former football coach in the school’s weight room. Mark Becker had argued that he was legally insane when he shot Aplington-Parkersburg High School Coach Ed Thomas in June 2009. A jury found Becker guilty and rejected his insanity defense. Doctors testified at the trial that Becker is a paranoid schizophrenic but they disagreed over whether he knew right from wrong when he shot Thomas. Becker’s lawyers argued that jurors were given incorrect instructions about the legal definition of insanity.
The Iowa Court of Appeals on Thursday agreed one instruction was incorrect but said jurors were given another instruction that correctly defined insanity. Taken together, the court says jurors were properly instructed.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest over the weekend, of two men from Pottawattamie County. 39-year old Micheal Dean Mundorf, of Oakland, was charged Sunday, with Driving While Barred. He was later released on $2,000 bond. And, last Saturday (Sept. 3rd), 28-year old Quintin John Perdue, of Council Bluffs, was taken into custody on a District Court warrant for violation of his probation. Perdue was being held in the Cass County Jail, on $10,000 bond.

The City of Atlantic’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Task Force is scheduled to meet this evening. During the meeting at City Hall, the committee will hold a review of discussion on TIF matters to-date, discuss the definition of Industrial, Commercial and Residential TIFs’, work on developing recommended criteria and the framework guideline for each category, and, they’ll discuss the inclusion of TIF-funded tax rebates, or a “Reverse TIF,” and non-TIF development incentives and/or tax rebates. The meeting begins at 7-p.m.
The TIF Task Force was established in July, by Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones. The panel will have no authority, implied or otherwise, to establish a TIF policy. It will only offer an opinion on how such a policy should be formulated and implemented.
