State of Iowa v. Mark Bernard Retterath
Date: 05-06-2022
Case Number: 19-2075
Judge: McDermott
Court: Supreme Court of Iowa on appeal from the District Court, Mitchell County
Plaintiff's Attorney: Mitchell County Iowa County Attorney's Office
Defendant's Attorney:
A jury convicted Mark Retterath of solicitation to commit murder. Before his trial, Retterath sought to obtain the privileged counseling records of two of the State's key witnesses on the basis that these records might contain critical exculpatory information for his defense. The district court denied his requests. The court of appeals overturned this ruling and remanded for the district court to review the counseling records to determine whether they in fact contained exculpatory information and, if so, whether Retterath should receive a new trial.
