As online outrage mounts and donations pour in for a teenager in Des Moines, Iowa, who was ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution to the family of a man who she said had raped her,
of a man who she said had raped her, her lawyers are considering whether to seek a discretionary review with the Iowa Supreme Court.
Pieper Lewis listens as her attorney Matthew Sheeley questions a witness during a sentencing hearing on Sept. 13, 2022. Robert Rigg, a law professor at Drake University in Des Moines, said he has never heard of a governor in Iowa interceding on behalf of a defendant in a restitution matter, which some people have implored Gov. Kim Reynolds to do. But he said he believes she has the inherent power to do that. Alex Murphy, a spokesman for Reynolds, did not reply to multiple phone and email requests for comment.
Rigg, who worked in the public defender’s office for 17 years, said what Lewis’ lawyers accomplished “was actually a really good result for their client.”
