A federal judge has tossed a lawsuit filed in 2017 by an Orem man who was convicted and then acquitted of his wife’s shooting death.
Conrad Mark Truman filed a federal lawsuit alleging that police and prosecutors used “misleading, false and outright fabricated” evidence to charge him with murder and keep him behind bars for nearly four years.
A jury convicted Truman in 2014 of murder and obstruction of justice, despite his testimony that he didn’t shoot 25-year-old Heidy Truman inside their home. He was granted a new trial in 2016, however, after it came to light that jurors relied on incorrect measurements of the Truman home when reaching their decision.
