Indiana Court to Hear Convicted Murderer’s Appeal

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): The Indiana Supreme Court has agreed to hear a northern Indiana man's appeal of his conviction in his ex-girlfriend's fatal shooting. Twenty-one-year-old Dustin McCowan is serving a 60-year sentence for the September 2011 murder of 19-year-old Amanda Bach of Portage, who was slain during a dispute. The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld McCowan's conviction and sentence in April, but the state's high court announced Monday it would hear his appeal.
