'Today, the judge recognized that Pieper was a victim and a child,' the GoFundMe page raising money for the Iowa teenager said.
On Tuesday, Polk County District Judge David Porter announced that 17-year-old Pieper Lewis would not be sentenced to prison for the murder of 37-year-old Zachary Brooks. Lewis was sentenced to five years of supervised probation and a deferred judgment. According to information from the University of Iowa, a deferred judgment can lead to a person's record being expunged upon successfully completing probation.
The decision by Porter comes over a year after Lewis pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of Brooks, who she claimed had raped her. "Today, the judge recognized that Pieper was a victim and a child," Schipper wrote on the page."He, like almost everyone who knows the details of Pieper's case, empathized with a girl with no violent history before or after this incident, who saw killing a man as the only way out of a truly horrific situation. He granted her probation and a deferred judgment—meaning if she meets the conditions of her parole, she will have the felony removed from her record.
