A federal judge has dismissed claims against prosecutors in a lawsuit filed last year by an Orem man who was convicted then later acquitted of his wife’s shooting death.
Conrad Mark Truman alleged in the federal lawsuit that law enforcement used “misleading, false and outright fabricated” evidence to charge him with murder and keep him behind bars for nearly four years.
Truman was convicted by a jury in 2014 of murder and obstruction of justice — despite his testimony that he didn’t shoot 25-year-old Heidy Truman inside their home. In 2016, a judge granted him a new trial, finding that jurors relied on incorrect measurements of the Truman home when rendering their verdict.
