Veal can appeal murder conviction on "cruel, unusual punishment" claim
|
|
9:55 AM, February 26, 2010
by Bob Fisher, News Director
DES MOINES --- The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that a former Mason City woman can challenge her sentence of life in prison after she contended that the life prison term constituted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the state and United States constitutions. In 1993, the then 14-year-old Ruthann Veal was convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of 66-year-old Catherine Haynes of Waterloo. Veal’s attorney argued to the Iowa Supreme Court last month that Iowa lowered the age at which children can be charged as adults before making life without parole a punishment for crimes like first-degree murder. The Iowa Supreme Court in its ruling today overturned the rulings of the district court as well as the Iowa Court of Appeals, remanding the case back to district court for further proceedings. The state had argued that Veal’s appeal was not filed in a timely fashion, but the high court has ruled that the time restrictions that normally apply to cases of post-conviction relief do not apply to cases dealing with challenges of an illegal sentence.
