Branstad Grants Parole Path for Lifelong Murderer Rasberry Williams
Rasberry Williams 67 earns commuted life sentence after 37 years in prison for killing Lester Givhan in 1974. Gov. Branstad asks Iowa Board of Parole to weigh conditions including work, community service, and restrictions on gambling and contacting the victim's family. Commutation, rare in Iowa, moves Williams toward possible parole or work release with future supervision.
