We make “an independent evaluation [based on] the totality of the circumstances as shown by the entire record.” Id. (alteration in original) (quoting State v. Breuer, 577 N.W.2d 41, 44 (Iowa 1998)). “We give deference to the district court’s fact findings due to its opportunity to assess the credibility of witnesses, but we are not bound by those findings.” In re Pardee, 872 N.W.2d 384, 390 (Iowa 2015) (quoting State v.
