Description:
One of the two Iowa teens that bashed their high school Spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat over a bad grade was sentenced Thursday to life in prison.
Willard Miller, 17, could be eligible for parole after 35 years behind bars for the vicious murder of 66-year-old Nohema Graber in 2021.
Miller stared ahead with little emotion as District Court Judge Shawn Showers handed down the hefty sentence, noting that it was fitting despite Miller’s young age because he had “cut Nohema Graber’s precious life short,” devastating her family and the community.
“I find that your intent and actions were sinister and evil. Those acts resulted in the intentional loss of human life in a brutal fashion. There is no excuse. There is not a systemic, societal problem that explains or justifies your actions,” Showers said.
Before being sentenced, Miller accepted responsibility for killing Graber along with friend Jeremy Goodale while the teacher took her regular afternoon walk in Fairfield Park.
