LYNCHBURG, Va. – More than 30 years after her death, the family of a teenage girl killed in Lynchburg is speaking out against the Virginia Parole Board’s decision to release her convicted killer.
On April 5, 1989, Gregory Joyner, who was 17-years-old at the time, was convicted of the first-degree murder and attempted rape of 15-year-old Sarah Jamison. according to the Washington Post.
Joyner admitted that he strangled Jamison to death on May 15, 1988, after he claimed to have consensual sex with her, according to the Lynchburg Commonwealth’s Attorney. He then said that he buried her body in a wooded area near her parent’s house, where her remains were found two weeks later.
On June 9, 1989, Joyner was sentenced to life plus 10 years — the maximum sentences for his charges.
Joyner was denied parole by the board in June of 2017 due to his “extensive criminal record, history of violence, and release at the time would diminish the serious nature of his offenses.” According to the commonwealth’s attorney, the board came to the same decision when Joyner was up for parole in May 2019. Joyner was eventually granted parole a year and a half later.
On Nov. 23, 2020, Jamison’s family found out that Joyner was granted parole.
