Ralph Armstrong, whose convictions for the 1980 rape and murder of a UW-Madison student were overturned in 2005 and charges against him in the case were dismissed in July after he spent 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 attorney's office decided not to appeal the dismissal of charges against Armstrong in the death of Charise Kamps. Tia Bland, spokeswoman for the New Mexico Corrections Department, said Armstrong now is doing time for a parole violation associated with rape and sodomy convictions in New Mexico in the 1970s for raping three young Albuquerque women. He started serving a 30- to 150-year prison sentence in March 1972 and was paroled in June 1979. "He violated his parole while he was in Wisconsin in June 1980," Bland said. "The violations are alcohol and drug use. He had a parole hearing on those violations on Sept. 2, and his parole was revoked. As a result, Ralph Armstrong could remain in prison until 2029."
