DeWitt man charged with murder in death of his parents

News

June 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

DEWITT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have charged a man with two counts of murder in the deaths of his parents, whose bodies were found in the eastern Iowa city of DeWitt. The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office on Monday charged Gavin Glasz with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 51-year-old Brian Paul Glasz and 54-year-old Michelle Renee Glasz. They were found dead Tuesday in their DeWitt home.

Clinton County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the home after Brian Glasz didn’t show up at work. Deputies found Gavin Glasz outside and later discovered the body of Brian Glasz in a laundry room and the body of Michelle Glasz in the basement. Both were wrapped in blankets and had died of “multiple sharp force injuries” and strangulations. Brian Glasz also suffered blows to his head.

DeWitt was jailed on a $1 million bond.

Iowa court: Mandatory juvenile sentences should be uncommon

News

June 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that two men who committed felonies as juveniles and were sentenced to more than 17 years in prison without parole must be resentenced. The court concluded in a 4-3 opinion that long juvenile sentences without the possibility of parole should be uncommon.

The ruling means Christopher Roby, of Waterloo and Jarrod Majors, of Bedford, are likely to be paroled. Both were sentenced to more than 17 years without parole, Roby for sexual abuse and Majors for attempted murder.

The case sets Iowa apart from most other states in its practice of telling judges that mandatory minimum prison terms for juveniles should only be short sentences and should be rare after careful individual review based only on evidence and expert testimony.
