127 Iowa 683 | Iowa | 1905
The defendant has been twice convicted of raping his own daughter, a girl under the age of consent, and this is the second appeal to this court. See State v. Norris, 122 Iowa, 154. At the close of the State’s case the defendant moved for a directed verdict on the ground that there was no evidence corroborating the prosecutrix which tended to connect him with the commission of the crime charged, and whether there was or not is the principal question for determination on this appeal.
