John Myers II ruling is upheld

The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of John Myers II, according to a statement released May 30 by the Office of the Indiana Attorney General. \nIn 2006, Myers was sentenced to 65 years in prison for the May 2000 murder of IU student Jill Behrman. Marilyn Behrman, a development analyst at the IU Foundation, said the new ruling comes a day before the eight-year anniversary of her daughter’s disappearance.\n“As far as I’m concerned, it’s really good news,” she said. “All along I’ve felt the trial was fair.”\nMyers has 30 days to appeal his case to the Indiana Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, according to the statement.
