The Illinois Supreme Court next Tuesday morning will hear oral arguments in the case of Alan Beaman, a Rockford man who claims he was wrongly convicted in the August 1993 killing of his ex-girlfriend.
Background from the Register Star:
Alan Beaman was convicted of first degree murder for killing Illinois State University student Jennifer Lockmiller, who was strangled and stabbed in her apartment in Normal.
Beaman is serving a 50-year prison sentence.
We’ll be at the high court to bring you the story.

[…] The Illinois Supreme Court’s oral argument room is packed, apparently with folks gathered to hear Alan Beaman’s appeal. […]

After watching the documantary it appears there is another suspect who is more likely to be the murderer. I feel Alan Beaman was given a raw deal. It’s very sad in this day and age that an innocent man can be given a 50 year prison sentence.
