New trial begins for convicted murderer

The Iowa Court of Appeals will hear arguments tomorrow in the case of David Flores, the Des Moines man who says he was wrongfully convicted in a 1996 murder. Attorneys for Flores went through several appeals before finally winning a new trial. The case involves the rush-hour shootout between two vehicles that left bank executive Phyllis Davis dead in 1996. But new evidence pointing to another suspect led to the new trial. Flores is serving a life prison sentence in Fort Madison.
