Catching up: Ralph Armstrong remains in prison in New Mexico

Ralph Armstrong, whose charges for the 1980 rape and murder of a UW-Madison student were dismissed in August after almost 30 years in prison, remains in a New Mexico prison on decades-old parole violations.

Armstrong, 57, was transferred in August from Wisconsin to New Mexico after the Dane County district attorneyâ??s office decided not appeal the dismissal of charges against Armstrong in the death of Charise Kamps.
