Ind. Decisions - More on: "Judge in Behrman case rejects bid for new trial"
Updating this ILB entry from Feb. 14, 2007, the Louisville Courier Journal reports today:
Arguments are set for next month in the appeal of a man convicted of murdering Jill Behrman, a 19-year-old Indiana University student.The three-member Indiana Appeals Court has set the case for March 20 in Indianapolis.
In 2006, John Myers II was convicted of murdering Behrman, who disappeared in 2000 while cycling. Her remains were found in April 2003.
The appeal filed in September argues that jurors misbehaved and that pretrial publicity tainted the trial. It also questions whether a forensic pathologist’s opinion that Behrman had been raped, even though there was no evidence of sexual assault, should have been admitted.
