Alan Beaman, the wrongly accused IWU student who spent 13 years in state prison for the 1993 murder of ISU student Jennifer Lockmiller, has settled with the town of Normal for 5.4 Million - per town council approval.
That's about 1/10th of what he should receive. It's about freakin time. Alan has been screwed over and over, even AFTER 2008...when his murder conviction was overturned and he was released from prison. He has received a full certificate of innocence from the State of IL.
The reason I started this topic...I go to The Pantagraph site and all socal media...not a freakin peep. Just amazing. Disgusted with the lack of coverage of...so much. Big props to WGLT for immediately passing on the press release, which the panty still hasn't done.
I lived a small parking lot away from Jennifer when this happened. Probably like some of you, we heard details, immediately, that later came out publicly. Even though I didn't know her, I still think about Jennifer. ISU has 2 unsolved murders...on campus. Jennifer...and Carol Rofstad in late 1975. In addition, Jelani Day was an ISU grad student who was found in the Illinois River in 2021. May Jelani, Carol, and Jennifer - and their cases - NEVER be forgotten.
