During the trial, jurors heard from an Iowa DCI agent who claimed that Ricke told him he “blacked out” and had no memory of shooting Cram eight times.
A medical examiner reminded jurors that Cram was shot in the head three times. One of those shots hit his brain stem, killing him instantly.
Ricke’s sentencing is set for August 21 in Kossuth County.
