Receipt #002
The record existed.
Here is what it showed.
Mirza Kudić
This is a preserved record of information that was publicly available through Polk County and Iowa Courts Online.
Polk County records show Kudić was booked on December 14, 2020 in connection with a domestic abuse assault charge involving impeding air or blood flow.
Iowa Courts Online case FECR344198 later showed a Defendant’s Petition to Plead Guilty filed on March 16, 2021.
On March 17, 2021, the court entered an Order of Disposition — Deferred Judgment.
A deferred judgment does not result in entry of a judgment of conviction at that time. After successful completion of the required conditions, the record may be expunged and made confidential under Iowa law.
The public court record for this case is no longer available through the ordinary Iowa Courts Online public search.
That’s the record.
The larger question is not whether this case existed. The archived records answer that.
The question is why qualifying violent crimes can end in a process that ultimately removes the court record from ordinary public access.
