#Jessica lacona iowa trial#
A&E documentary premiering Tuesday follows trial of Iowa farmer accused of killing his mother.The next step, Downey said, will be to demand evidence from investigators as part of the civil discovery process. "For Jason, this has been an arduous process anyway, and so the delay between the dismissal and getting this revived has just added to that," Downey said. Glen Downey, an attorney representing Carter, said the decision is long-delayed but welcome news for his client. View Gallery: Iowa man Jason Carter acquitted of murder in mother's killing The unsigned decision affirmed the dismissal of Carter's claim that the county had failed to properly train or supervise its officers. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision on five of Jason Carter's six claims, ruling that the case targeted the criminal investigation rather than his family's civil case. He accused Ludwick and other investigators of making false statements during the investigation, failing to follow leads pointing to other suspects and withholding evidence that supported his innocence.Ī judge dismissed the federal case in August 2020, ruling that the lawsuit was an impermissible attempt to relitigate Carter's loss in his family's civil lawsuit.
But when his criminal case finally went to trail in 2019, the jury found Jason Carter not guilty.Īfter his acquittal, Carter filed state and federal lawsuits against Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agent Mark Ludwick, Marion County and its sheriff, Reed Kious, and his father.
His father and brother, Bill and Billy Carter, sued him for her wrongful death and won a $10 million verdict in 2017, a decision upheld by the Iowa Supreme Court in March. Shirley Carter was shot to death in her Marion County home on June 19, 2015, and Jason Carter was charged with murder. Now a federal appellate court has partially revived Jason Carter's lawsuit against the investigators who accused him of the killing. He was ordered by a jury in a civil trial to pay $10 million to his father and brother in the killing. He was acquitted by a jury in a criminal trial of murdering his mother.
