Murder convict seeks new trial in Iowa City case
James L. Mayberry, 45, sentenced in 1985 to life for the murder of Julia Wise, seeks post-conviction relief in Johnson County. He asks for a new trial or to have the sentence reduced to second degree, citing an Iowa Supreme Court ruling on forcible felonious willful injury. The case drew national attention as the state’s first 1937-era first degree murder conviction. Mayberry is imprisoned in Fort Madison. Heemstra's related case heads to trial in April on a venue change.
