Bobby Fitzgerald Hunt Jr. v. State of Iowa

What the court decided

Result: PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI GRANTED AND WRIT ANNULLED

Bobby Hunt challenges the denial of his petition for postconviction relief, arguing his sentences for vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident violate double jeopardy.

Holding: We agree with the district court that neither the text nor the purpose of the offenses at issue suggest a legislative intent to foreclose multiple punishment. Treating Hunt’s appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari, we annul the writ and affirm the denial of relief.
