Parole board not required to warn public new ruling says
Iowa Supreme Court rules 8-0 that the Board of Parole and its supervision are protected from liability in parole decisions. The decision upholds a wrongful death suit dismissal over Louise Sheerin's 1981 Bettendorf stabbing. The ruling says warnings to the general public are not mandated. Gov Branstad pushes for more prison beds to curb releases of dangerous inmates. House Speaker Avenson says space is needed this session.

Cooperation does not shield abuse cases in Iowa ruling
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that cooperating with child abuse investigators does not immunize a parent from criminal charges. The decision overturned a Polk County case against Onalissa King after she aided the investigation into her husband David King’s alleged abuse of their child. The justices said immunity applies to reporters of suspected abuse, not to those involved in the abuse itself.
