INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO): Former Indianapolis Police Officer David Bisard has appealed his conviction for a drunk driving wreck that killed a motorcyclist while Bisard was on duty.

The appeal was filed Wednesday by the Marion County Public Defenders Office and argues that Bisard was denied an impartial jury and due process.

Bisard was convicted of nine felonies in connection with the August 2010 crash in which Bisard's police car slammed into a group of motorcyclists on the northeast side of Indianapolis. 30-year-old Eric Wells was killed, and two other bikers were injured. Blood tests showed that Bisard had a blood alcohol level of 0.19, though Bisard continues to say he was not drunk when the wreck occurred. Bisard was sentenced to 16 years in prison in November 2013.
