Note to self: Strike Iowa off the list of states I might like to visit...ever.An Iowa judge ruled Tuesday that a girl who was 15 when she killed a man she said raped her multiple times must pay his family $150,000 in restitution.
Pieper Lewis, who killed her alleged rapist in 2020, received a deferred judgment from Polk County District Judge David Porter after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and willful injury.
Porter ruled that Lewis would receive five years' probation, serve 200 hours of community service and pay $150,000 in restitution. The deferred judgment means this may be expunged from Lewis' record.
Iowa law requires the court to sentence offenders to pay at least $150,000 in restitution if they kill another person.
