ISU student will sue for unlawful arrest Associated Press
Tuscola | An attorney for a man
who was wrongfully convicted of murder in the death of a 22-yearold Illinois State University student argued in a Douglas County courtroom that a jury should hear claims that three Normal police officers, who have since retired, botched the investigation. Alan Beaman of Rockford served 13 years in prison for the slaying of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lockmiller, who was found strangled and stabbed in her Normal apartment in August 1993. His conviction was vacated by the Illinois
Supreme Court after DNA evidence pointed to other suspects. Beaman seeking more than $50,000 in a lawsuit against the town of Normal and retired police officers Tim Freesmeyer, Dave Warner and Frank Zayas. The lawsuit accuses the officers of ignoring other potential suspects and evidence that supported Beaman’s alibi of being in Rockford when Lockmiller was killed, the Bloomington Pantagraph reported. “The wheels of justice have turned in such a way to do damage to an innocent human being,” Attorney Locke Bowman said.
