Benjamin Schreier is a guest of the people of Iowa. He is doing life for beating a man to death 22 years ago. Back in 2015 he was taken to an off-grounds hospital for an unspecified medical problem. His heart stopped five times and he had to be resuscitated.
He is now asserting that these momentary deaths fulfill his life sentence and he should be released.
A district judge found no merit in his argument, stating that the fact that he filed the appeal shows that he is clearly alive.
An appeals court affirmed that decision on Wednesday, stating "Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot."
