(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld the murder conviction of an Earlville man who killed his wife with a corn rake. Todd Mullis was found guilty by a Delaware County jury in September of 2019. Prosecutors had told the court Mullis killed his wife, Amy. Attorneys for Mullis appealed – saying there wasn’t enough evidence to show he was the one who attacked her in a hog barn and used the corn rake to kill her. The appeals court disagreed. It ruled there was plenty of evidence presented that Mullis was the only one who could have killed her. His motive was his suspicion that she was having an affair and he didn’t want to lose his farming operation in a divorce.
