According to People, the Iowa teens killed their Spanish teacher because of the bad grades that they got from her. The victim is Nohema Graber, 66.
The victim was having her regular afternoon walk at a park in Fairfield when the Iowa teens struck her with a baseball bat to death. BBC reported that one of the Iowa teens, Willard Miller, was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to pay the victim’s family at least $150,000.
