William A Holland, serving a life sentence for a 1953 murder in Clutter, was granted a hearing in Tama district court on March 14 for post conviction relief.

Hober on a county road. Holland previously confessed to police but claimed stress and fear led to the fatal shot. The court previously sentenced him to life imprisonment.
