Two Iowa teens accused of killing their 66-year-old Spanish teacher have pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale, both 17, admitted to participating in the brutal beating of Fairfield High School teacher Nohema Graber on 2 November 2021. The teens made their guilty pleas at separate hearings on Tuesday, KCRG reported.
Goodale and Miller, then aged 16, beat Graber to death with a baseball bat out of frustration over a bad grade. Miller’s last-minute plea change comes just days before his trial was set to begin, The Livingston Enterprise reported.
