Record access reversed for Kern clemency file in Iowa
The Iowa Board of Parole must provide records to inmate Robert Lee Kern who cannot visit the Des Moines office. The decision reversal came after the attorney general's office reexamined rules and noted alternative access methods. Kerns life sentence stems from the 1979 plot to kill Ady Jensen and divide a $50,000 policy.
