Police Resisting Records Request

Police are throwing roadblocks in front of the Downstate Illinois Innocence Project, which is seeking records to further investigations of cases in which project organizers suspect people may have been wrongfully convicted.

Illinois State Police have refused for two years to give the Innocence Project records on an unidentified fingerprint found on a bridge guardrail in Macon County, just inches away from the blood of Karyn Slover. 

Slover’s husband and his parents were convicted of murdering her in 1996 and dumping her body into Lake Shelbyville.
