of a man who she said had raped her, her lawyers are considering whether to seek a discretionary review with the Iowa Supreme Court.
Sheeley said the defense also argued Tuesday “that the Legislature could not have intended a situation where, as here, the person that’s receiving the restitution actually committed a criminal offense.” Robert Rigg, a law professor at Drake University in Des Moines, said he has never heard of a governor in Iowa interceding on behalf of a defendant in a restitution matter, which some people have implored Gov. Kim Reynolds to do. But he said he believes she has the inherent power to do that. Alex Murphy, a spokesman for Reynolds, did not reply to multiple phone and email requests for comment.
Rigg, who worked in the public defender’s office for 17 years, said what Lewis’ lawyers accomplished “was actually a really good result for their client.”
Please look into the state Supreme Court-she is getting victimized and traumatized again and anyone who has been a victim of any kind of abuse understands how traumatizing it is to not only relive the abuse but to have an institution set up to help you demean you as well
Lucky that's all you got, better take it and run
