Description
Adam Ross appeals from convictions and sentences for (1) conspiracy to commit theft by deception, (2) extortion, and (3) aiding, making, establishing, or advertising a lottery. See Iowa Code §Â§ 706.1, 714.1(3) (conspiracy to commit theft by deception), 711.4 (extortion), 725.12 (lottery) (1993). He seeks to have his sentences and convictions reversed because, as he contends, the district court erred by (1) refusing to instruct the jury that "materiality" is an element of theft by deception, (2) failing to give his theory of defense instruction on the elements of theft by check, and (3) admitting hearsay statements. In addition, Ross contends the admission of the hearsay statements violated his right of confrontation under the Sixth Amendment to the federal Constitution. Finding no merit in any of these contentions, we affirm.
