Forty-two-year-old Michael Lang is accused of shooting Sgt. Jim Smith in Lang’s Grundy Center home in a confrontation on April 9, 2021. Lang, who himself was shot several times after police used an armored vehicle to breach his residence, is charged with murder, attempted murder and assaulting a police officer. Smith was a 27-year member of the Iowa State Patrol at the time of his death last year.

The trial was moved to Hamilton County in January on a change of venue due to extensive media coverage and public interest in the case. Jury selection will begin today followed by opening statements from attorneys. Several witnesses will take the stand during the trial that will likely continue into next week.
Iowa broke the game open with a five run fifth inning and beat Purdue 9-1 in the rubber game of their Big Ten series. The Hawkeyes had nine hits and took advantage of 10 free bases to move to 12-6 in the Big Ten.
That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller who says good defense was a factor as well.
After a couple of shaky outings Langenberg tossed seven innings to move his record to 5-1.
The Hawkeyes are 28-16 overall.
Former Iowa defensive back Dane Belton believes his versatility will help him in the NFL. Belton was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Giants after leading the Hawkeyes with five interceptions while playing the “cash” position. It is a hybrid safety/linebacker position in the Iowa defense.
Belton says the versatility will help him as he concentrates on playing safety in the NFL.
Belton says his interceptions were the result of preparation and film study.
