The first of two Iowa teenagers who pleaded guilty to fatally beating their Spanish teacher with a baseball bat in 2021 was sentenced Thursday to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 35 years.
Willard Miller was 16 when Fairfield High School teacher Nohema Graber, 66, was found dead Nov. 3, 2021.
Miller, sitting in orange jail scrubs next to his attorneys, showed no emotion Thursday after District Judge Shawn Showers sentenced him to a minimum of decades in prison after having called his actions “sinister and evil.”
