DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A judge has re-sentenced a man who killed two people at a Des Moines restaurant in 1992 to life in prison with the possibility of parole. The Des Moines Register reports District Court Judge Jeanie Kunkle Vaudt on Wednesday altered Joseph “Jo-Jo” White’s two life terms to give him the right to seek his freedom from the Iowa Board of Parole. White was sentenced to life without parole, but he sought the resentencing after rulings by the U.S. and Iowa supreme courts banning such sentences for people who committed crimes as juveniles.
White was convicted of gunning down 25-year-old Cara McGrane and 28-year-old Tim Burnett during a robbery of the Drake Diner, where both were managers. White, then 17, grabbed less than $500 from the cash register.
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) today announced testing at the State Hygienic Laboratory (SHL) has confirmed the first human cases of West Nile virus disease in Iowa in 2016. A female child (0-17 years of age) and an adult male (41-60 years of age), both of Sioux County, were hospitalized due to the virus but are now recovering. “West Nile virus season typically lasts from late summer into early autumn,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “These cases serve as a reminder to all Iowans that the West Nile virus is present and it’s important for Iowans to be using insect repellent when outdoors.”
Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus:
Approximately 20 percent of people infected with West Nile virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than one percent of people infected become seriously ill and rarely, someone dies.
Since West Nile first appeared in Iowa in 2002, it has been found in every county in Iowa, either in humans, horses, or birds. In 2015, 14 cases of West Nile virus were reported to IDPH. The last death caused by West Nile virus was in 2010, and there were two deaths that year. For more information about West Nile virus, visit idph.iowa.gov/cade/disease-information/west-nile-virus.
