Curt Lovelace doesn't bear the mark of Cain, but he freely acknowledges the scars left by a three-year experience in which he was charged with the murder of his wife and, after two widely publicized trials, found not guilty by a Sangamon County jury.

"Just Google me," said the 48-year-old Lovelace, referring to his internet notoriety.

Now the lawyer and former University of Illinois football star is trying to rebuild his life and career.

He and his current wife, Christine, have moved from their hometown of Quincy to Champaign, where he's in the process of setting up a law practice.
